The wild flowers have been gorgeous! We have seen huge patches of Indian paintbrush, the colors of which vary from light orange to bright red.

| A single paintbrush |

| Locoweed, I think! |
 |
| Fireweed |
 |
| Oxeye daisies, apparently an invasive plant |
Purple harebells, vetch, and locoweed are everywhere; yellow gellardia and cinquefoils dot the hillsides; white daisies and fleabane punctuate the ditches, and on occasion, we see a brilliant orange flower.
When I finally got close to it, I realized it is a Canadian Wood Lily, and its beauty astounded me. My two pictures, though lovely, do not do it justice!
