These pictures are from our hike to Buffalo Meadows, northeast of Buena Vista, on Tuesday. The first is wild roses, of course. Click on these to zoom in.
This is a mariposa lily, early in the morning so it's not completely open yet. Mariposa is Spanish for "butterfly." It's also called a sego lily.
This is a ladybug watering itself on a monstrous dewdrop on a leaf. Susan got face-to-face with him/her with the macro focus setting on the camera. Needs editing, but I can't figure out how to do it on this library computer.
This is called "beautiful sandwort." I spent most of the morning today looking through about 5 wildflower ID books, so I'm almost sure of this.
And this is alpine clover, also known as whiproot clover.
