Second in the ACEO series. This is an Alpine Shooting Star. After the snows melt off in Yosemite, Alpine Shooting Stars spread a pink blanket over bogs. It's one of the best places to see this flower in all it's glory. It truly is an unusual, regal flower.
And while you're there, stay the night. Camp without a tent and keep your ears open. Deer will walk by...you'll hear the twigs snap under their dainty hooves. Soon you'll hear the peep frogs. They'll fill the night air with joyous, riotous song. The stars will dance above, so thick it will look like clouds floating across the heavens. And the moon will fill the horizon. Focus, and you'll hear birds settling in the treetops and a coyote scouting through the underbrush for a night meal. Listen close. You'll be suprised at all you hear. And feel.
And you'll realize...God made all this just for you.
