Western Wildflowers

Here are some western wildflowers for your Super Park enjoyment. I'm not sure what any of the varieties are, but they were mostly in Mesa Verde and Black Canyon NPs, in Colorado.




I spent some time this morning with the PA Wildlife Photographer, shooting Pennsylvania wildflowers. We'll have some shots to post from that expedition soon, I'm sure :)

Carved in Stone

Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado is well known for the many stone dwellings that cling to its cliffsides. Surprisingly, these are the only petroglyphs the public can readily access. The meaning behind these symbols is ultimately unknown, although modern-day tribespeople have made interpretations. Their permanence intrigued me; they've lasted for centuries.

What words and ideas are important enough that you would carve them in stone?
