 Beautiful beargrass with lovely lupine in the background. | Tin Cup - June 2020. After our picnic lunch up Lost Horse on a beautiful day earlier this month, we headed further south to enjoy an afternoon hike up Tin Cup Creek. In addition to enjoying the abundance of wildflowers along the way, we also watched some small wildlife and heard and saw a tree fall not very far away from us! Like I often say ... you just never know what you will come across in the mountains. Always be prepared for anything and everything out here! :) |
 A tree falls nearby! |  A wonderful day for a hike in the mountains. |
Chipmunks tend to keep themselves plenty busy in the woods. -- Lots of lupine everywhere!

 Interesting detail in a star tulip (aka elegant cat's ear). |  Beauty greets us all along the trail. |
 Bunchberry dogwood flowers are elegantly beautiful.  This bee pays no attention to me and my camera. |  The vibrancy of Indian paintbrush always stands out.  An interesting horsetail stalk growing by itself. |
 It seems I'm not the only one attracted to red clover. |  False Solomon's-seal leaves and flowers contrast in size. |
The flowers of mountain-ash and its orange berries later on are both a beautiful sight to see.
