It’s one of my favorite wildflowers, here in New Mexico. The root systems are known to track up to 150 feet to find water – though that’s not a problem with these.

This is at the bottom of our back meadow, the water table is about 4 feet down, the Santa Fe River is about 50 feet away.

Mostly, I’m still settling in to my new camera: Panasonic Lumix FZ50. The ergonomics are the best ever.
