High Mountain Wildflowers

7月24日土曜日、町のスキ場のリフトが動くというので、朝一番で登る。
3000m越える頂上からのんびり森の中を歩いて降りてきました。曇り空で、山頂からの眺望は雲に囲まれ、今ひとつでしたが、前夜からの雨で、薄暗い森の中はかなり湿気があり気持ちの良い散歩が出来ました。

Geranium　よく山の中で見かけます。紫の花びらに白い筋のあるものも時折。



















Nodding Onion 葱坊主 のお友達のようです。

場所によってはこのように異種の花が咲き乱れています。

Carson National Forest-Northern NM

July 17,2010, Ryota and I went camping to Rio Los Pinos in Carson National Forest just south of Colorado state border. Fishing was not great due to warmer water. We also had thunder storm on 18(Sat.) evening. Only 2hr drive from home, it was a wonderful and peaceful time indeed.

Milkyway shiningly runs from southern ridge of the mountain to the top of the sky. Ocasinally, shootingstars and satelites were seen in the dark sky.

Sunday noon, we were driving through 10,000ft high Carson National Forest Road, where we could see a huge forest on mountain medow as far as we could see. It is not a steep 10,000ft high mountain, it is fla~~~~~t.

Insted of watching stars from the bottom of the canyon, it must be a amazing view here with a much much larger sky. One can feel like catching clouds in the low sky by hand here.

July the 4th

独立記念日の日曜日・・天気に恵まれ、夜空も雲ひとつない素晴らしい星空でした。

今年も独立記念日の花火は裏庭に椅子を出して・・・のんびりと見ていました。
