Look who’s dining out! The largest animals, by far, that I saw on my adventures in #Colorado were not on a trail, but next to a house in a neighborhood that abutted one of the trailheads. While walking to my car after a hike, I saw four #moose (two in pic) chomping on some delicious shrubs and trees next to the house. 🤣 This is a zoomed in photo— definitely kept my distance. #wildlife #nature #photography

I hiked by so many beautiful scenes during my recent trip to #Colorado. Here are pics of some colorful flowering plants that were growing along the trail that I hiked in Red Rocks Park, outside Denver. #BloomScrolling #hiking #mountains

Mountain Bluebell Dreams (July 2025)

These small, but plentiful flowers add a beautiful splash of blues and purples to those mountain hikes.

A rather tall bull thistle (𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘦), from Thompson Park:

Flowering and not-yet-flowering heads of a tall thistle, giving the general impression of spiky green hedgehogs perched on the ends of thorny branches, with a couple of the hedgehogs waving pink pom poms.

The purple-flowered raspberries (𝘙𝘶𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴) at Thompson Park are starting to fruit:

(This is a native species, tasty as it is lovely.)

Four finds from #Dartmoor at the start of the week, all of which I've seen there before. Lesser Skullcap, Marsh St John's Wort, Bog Pimpernel and Creeping Forgetmenot. #WildflowerHour #Devon #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A plant with grey-green hairy leaves and two yellow flowers.

A plant bearing two small, pink, strangely-shaped flowers. The flowers are tubular with a wide mouth at the end and are very small compared to nearby grass blades.

A plant with 3 pale pink, stripey flowers with 5 petals each.

A cluster of pale blue flowers with 5 petals and a yellow centre. The photo doesn't pick up that the plant has lots of short hairs over its stem and seed pods.

The Monarchs are excited about the flowering Orange Milkweed, as are ants and this little Megachile bee.
After many years, the plant is now spreading nicely in the garden.
