A few more pictures

These are from our last two walks from this vacation. Here is a flower cluster that we haven't had time to identify. Maybe some of you have a flower ID book for the mountains, or western region or something.
This is called mountain figwort.
Here we are at Lake Ann on Thursday. This was just before Susan started off up to the Continental Divide. Greg wandered down to that lake in the background and watched and took pictures of her.
We found this strawberry and ate it after taking this picture. We've noticed that strawberries have the same amount of flavor regardless of size. This one, smaller than a pea, delivers the same punch as one of those huge hybrids.
And this the picture from our hike up to Pass Creek Lake today: a small, tough desert flower which we haven't identified yet. The blossom looks like maybe it's in the buttercup family.
