I love the desert. The desert doesn't love me. The only thing I see in this scene is a tremendously painful obstacle course. Despite the bleeding legs, I still find this landscape incredibly beautiful.
Fireweed blooming in the Canadian Rockies signifies summer has reached its peak. For a few short weeks a rich purple tint will be cast over the open slopes and old burn areas. Soon the days will get shorter, the evenings cooler, and before we know it, summer will be over. Until then, I know Ill be out enjoying as much of this as possible. I suggest you do the same.
For only a few short weeks each year, the blooming wildflowers put on an impressive display in the meadows throughout Banff National Park.
