.may first.


It's May and finally the blooms have arrived. The balsamroot is in full bloom, the purple alpine lupine is here and even the bitterbrush is growing new leaves, soon to bloom its delicate butter colored blooms. The spring in the shrub-steppe is such a shocking time, a brief moment of lavish color before it all goes brown, muted again. It makes you pay attention and be present for the beauty of the season.
