Another Memorial weekend BBM BBQ??  Sounds like quite a party with all that exotic food.  I love bison; only the burger is available in local markets here in MO, but a few specialty shops have more if I travel 40 miles or so.  Actually, I do try to make it out to Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and sometimes Montana once every other fall.  Next month, I'll  be in Grand Teton & Yellowstone again for a couple weeks.  This will be my seventh visit, and I have yet to see probably only a tenth of the back-country in Yellowstone.

Yee-haw, I walked barefoot through the Rocky Mountain buffalograss last evening for the first time this season! It felt great!

I went for a wildflower walk today with my friends and gathered a few images of what's blooming now in the Rocky Mountains. Here is chickweed, which we also saw in abundance in Ten Sleep Canyon when my Brokie friends and I were there last week for the Roundup.

Here is a poisonous flower that should never be eaten or even touched. It is called Death Camas and resembles a wild onion. Quite a few of them are blooming in my neighborhood this summer.

While we were looking at wildflowers, a mother fox passed by with a rodent in her mouth for her kits.

The front yard of the Twist Ranch will be looking like this in a week or two, with lots of wild iris or Rocky Mountain Blue Flag, as it's called.
