I am so thankful that we live where we can travel a relatively short distance and be in the middle of the Rocky Mountain foothills.

Throughout the summer, these foothills come alive with various wildflowers, each season bringing in a different palette of color and texture.

This past weekend I enjoyed an opportunity to camp with my family in the middle of this beautiful wilderness.

And along with photos of my kids and grandchildren, I managed to take some of the flowers that were in bloom.

These may become inspiration for a quilt further down the line, but for now, I'm just enjoying the show that nature put on! I hope you like seeing some of the things that inspire me!

I love wildflowers. So used to see them in Norway, but here there are hardly any....
