The New Seattle

We talk about Seattle a LOT these days.
Because June brought us RAIN, RAIN, RAIN.
And Utah has become extraordinarily green
like our neighbors in the Northwest.

The mountain carpet at the entrance of the canyon
is simply LUSCIOUS.

There's been joyful singing
from the river as it cascades over quartzite boulders.

And choirs of wildflowers!

This year, Rock Canyon is a visual candy store.

The flora below reminds me of dear Dr. Seuss.


These petite flowers range from deep blue to deep purple,
and every color in between.

Wild roses line the trail near the base of the canyon.
Their fragrance carries me up the trail
and there's absolutely no effort in hiking when they're in bloom.

Bring on the rain!

FINAL SHOT:
Taken from my front porch with a telescopic lens.
(I dwell in the shadows of the mountains.)
