wildflowers, clouds, and mountains
This is the view facing east…up into Big Cottonwood Canyon, from Baker’s Pass, which is at the base of Gobbler’s Knob, above Mill A Flat, and positioned in front of Mount Raymond, on the east side…as one is preparing to turn to the left and head down into Bowman Fork…which leads to Millcreek Canyon…just east of Salt Lake City proper. Wildflowers and clouds are hard to resist when presented with a Wasatch Mountain backdrop…..

It was a great hike, Shannon…and hard to keep my feet on the trail with my eyes looking everywhere else! 🙂

All of natures bounty! Beautiful..

Thank you, Cath. 🙂

That is a beautiful place!

It truly is, Allen…and there are mountainsides absolutely full of aspen just off to the right that are going to be brilliantly yellow in just a little bit….

Wildflowers, or clouds, or mountains are so very hard to resist individually. You put them all together and it’s almost overkill. Utterly gorgeous!

Couldn’t resist, Gunta….and thank you. 🙂

A glorious array of wildflowers, Scott–one couldn’t have arranged them any better. And that pre-printed backdrop of the distant mountains and clouds that you carry around with you for just such an opportunity looks almost natural! (Heh, heh.)

That is one heck of a backdrop, isn’t it, Gary? My little one has commented a few times that the scenery is so beautiful that it almost looks fake…like it’s from a movie or something….

Amazing find! glorious shot, Indeed……..

Thank you, Erco. 🙂

Simply beautiful Scott!

In a very full way, Adrian….thank you.

At least two images for the price of one here, Scott. That foreground is a riot of colour in itself. And then there are the bonuses of the vista and a fabulous sky to finish with. Great shot!

Thank you very much, Andy.

Quite an attractive mix of flowers, and like you said, all the better with those mountain peaks. Do you know what the red & pink tubuler guys are?
September 6, 2013 at 7:18 pm
That is quite an array, Lynn…a very nice find. I believe those red/pink flowers are Skyrockets…Ipomopsis aggregata (italicized)…. 😉

Glorious shot Scott. I love everything about that, especially the wild flowers!
September 8, 2013 at 1:23 am
Thank you very much, Finn…those are some wonderful flowers!

This is completely delightful.

Thank you, Rachael. 🙂

Oh, what a beautiful scene. What a pleasure to just stand and gaze at it.
September 9, 2013 at 10:44 pm
Thank you, Shimon…it was truly a pleasure to be there and experience all of it…the view, aroma, the breeze…..

A lovely and lyrical scene….just needs Julie Andrews echoing from the hills….it’s a stunning world you have for a back yard. Fab, Scott.
September 12, 2013 at 3:22 pm
Yes, Julie Andrews would fit right in, wouldn’t she? And I agree, John…it is a stunning back yard that I have out there….I still find it hard to believe sometimes.

Isn’t it wonderful to find a flower garden in a place like that!
September 12, 2013 at 9:07 pm
It sure is, Terry! 🙂
September 13, 2013 at 8:14 am
It still looks like summer! Beautiful.
Hope it lasts a while longer.
