Albion basin morning

A friend picked me up at 6am this morning and we drove up to Albion basin above Alta ski area.  Two purposes - see moose and see wildflowers.  We did both - in spades!
The mother moose and her two little ones delighted us for 30 to 45 minutes before moving back into the willows.  The kids even came and suckled mom! In the distance, two large bulls ambled up the side of the mountain.  Friends for the moment, in another month they will be competitors.
The wildflowers, while slightly past peak, were incredible - colors and shapes and all of this mixed together in a potpourri that is fascinating to just sit and look at.

Here's some photos from today!































And I could not resist the play of light on the chairs!
