On June 22nd, Zouey and I hit the road! Time to do some sightseeing and exploring (and hmm, yes, maybe take a few photos...?!).
Lovely clouds and reflections at the BMR.
The clouds look a little more serious in the direction we're headed though...
Such pretty country.
I love this state for its mountains, but there are also cool rock formations everywhere.
What a road - way better than Disneyland for this girl!!
(and for these folks too, no doubt!)
Zou and I go through LC and on up and over S. Pass. A lot of fires around though, so the sky gets weirder and weirder... Here, Zouey takes advantage of the scenic lookout point.
Oh, and see that last big pointy peak on the right? That's U., one of the fourteeners, and I went up it last summer. What a view!!!
No, the sky color was not photoshopped in...
And yes, it was a little smoky!
And heading back, and looking away from the fire zone.
I think this guy had the right idea - outta here!
Back through LC and passing by a neat barn/house and pond.
And beautiful meadow with wild irises. We've usually visited this state too late in the season for the irises - but not this year!.
My favoritest flower of them all!!!!
And some interesting short yuccas in the more deserty section.
Pretty mix of lupine, paintbrush, and tyfs (as my natural history teacher used to call certain flowers whose official names had left his memory, "tiny yellow flowers" - very technical, yeah?!).
It's getting dark (darker than this image shows), and the mosquitoes are feasting away on me, but it's all worth it, of course!
