Wildflowers
I have always loved wildflowers. I love the way they grow wherever they want, sometimes jutting out of the rocks on a waterfall or right next to another flower they want to be next to. How they grow toward the sun or the shade or whatever they crave most. How there is no rhyme or reason to where they’re growing.
Our little Mom and Dad getaway last weekend included a breathtaking hike in Targhee National Forest. The goal was to get high enough to get a view of the spectacular Tetons. En route we hiked through a wildflower paradise. We came across 20 different varieties, half of which we had to look up the names. We also saw a mama moose and her baby grazing not too far away, and were serenaded by an idyllic mountain stream.
On most Mom and Dad getaways I don’t wish the kids were along. But I wanted to show them these 
incredible wildflowers and let them see the moose duo. What does my daughter call a beautiful sight? Eye candy. The landscape was eye candy and then some. Check out this website to learn more about wildflowers.
