    Tired 10-yr-old Peanut - she and doggy friend Pessa ( a rescue from Mexico, 3 yrs old) came on the 2+ hr hike. Both were given frequent water and rest breaks - but Peanut was SO happy to lie in Mom's arms at the end!

    What lovely photos, and what beautiful scenery and flowers! Thank you, Candace.

    Is the plant with the bell-like flowers a Lily of the Valley?

    Gosh, Pat - I thought it might be LOTV, and Googled the plant....but the leaves are totally wrong. Drat

    It might be an alpine variant, though...

    Love the pictures!!

    One of my favorite picture books in the folk tale section is about the Indian Paintbrush, by Tomie dePaola. He did the Legend of the Bluebonnet, too.

    (Tomie dePaola is one of my faves for kids... his Strega Nona stories are the best!!)
