A happy picture from Montana

My parents, and later my dad and step-mom, always loved the wildflowers that grow in the mountains of Montana. Here is a picture of some Indian Paintbrush that graced my upper meadow this Summer. There were also daisies and what I believe to be "blue bells." I may have forgotten to photograph the blue bells.

All I see is weeds that need mowing! Haha, just kidding of course. I would love to look out and see a meadow full of plants like that.

@TheHorse Well fine. I don't want to come to your stupid birthday party anyway. I hate you too.

@moffittjc Remember that we'll be best friends again in about four minutes. Being a toddler is tough!

I have both kinds of bluebells in my garden: wild and domesticated.

They were lovely. If I forgot to take a picture, it's because I was distracted by all that was going on.

@CarolDM Yeah, I was having serious car issues in Montana and was not focused on taking pictures of the beauty around me.

There is nothing like the raw beautiful of wild flowers growing in the mountains of Montana. Blue bells grow in England in late April or early May. Daisies are common on some people's lawns in their gardens.

I remember seeing similar flowers in some countryside back when I was a child.

We have them in the foothills here in California too. But the colors of the ones in Montana seem more vivid.

Indian paintbrush may attach itself to the roots of threes for nourishment. I'll have to look that up.

your photos are good, and walking to the mountains is fun to make the mind happy and relaxed, walking is also healthy for the body
