Beargrass ...
Just a quick post this morning to check in ... I'm back home for a couple weeks, and swamped with a backlog of stuff to do. I guess I've honestly felt a little disheartened in a social media sense the last couple of days, but I've got a backlog of things to post about, and I promise to get on it!
Anyhow, I thought today I'd share a photo of one of my favorite places, that was sent to me a while back. The guy who is in charge of the fire-lookout program I participate in was up at Baptiste Lookout last month, getting it ready for the summer, and he took one of the best photos I've ever seen of the place -- better than anything I've taken there. Here it is:
Isn't that gorgeous? The plants in the foreground are something called beargrass, and are common in Glacier and other parts of western Montana. Individual beargrass plants don't bloom every year, and some years the beargrass display is much more vibrant than others. This has been an amazing year for beargrass.
The beargrass display will have ended long before I get up to Baptiste myself, of course ... but my season up there is just as lovely in its own way.
