Just 2 and 1/2 hours away is the Island ski resort, its a good place to go for alpine flowers. These are two of my favorites and also one of the guys that keep you from getting lonely, I do go here each year alone.

What the blazes, is that bird really a wild one and sitting on your hand? 
The blooms are so pretty. I especially like the fine "hairs" on the bog bean.

When I go out with my camera I never have company like yours!! How I'd love to have your gift of attracting wildlife to you.
I have Bog Beans growing in my pond and think their flowers are really pretty. Deer Cabbage doesn't sound like a very attractive name for such a beautiful flowering plant does it? I'd think I'd make up a new name for it if it was up to me.

Yes the birds are wild and do have a hard time as there is so much snow during the long winter. I was here 3 weeks ago and there was snow and water running everywhere. The average snowfall on the ski hills is 10 metres (33 feet).
