This tiny alpine lake at Mount Revelstoke National Park in British Columbia is very low in September. But the rocks and reflections are quite nice.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

"Balsamic Pearls are small balls with a liquid core made of balsamic vinegar, reminiscent of caviar but 100% vegetable, without gelatin or animal derived ingredients. These truffle pearls contain no dyes or preservatives. They have a very nice texture with soft liquid core that “bursts” in the mouth, and can be used on sweet or savory dishes, hot or cold."

An interesting plant we came across this afternoon: a Himalayan balsam a species of Touch Me Not (Impatiens). Also known a Bobby Tops or Policemans Helmet among other things.
Spring in Montana. Arrowleaf balsamroot ( Balsamorhiza sagittata) is a stunning flower, a nutritious food, and potent herbal medicine that grows all over western North America.
T59 navigates the very steep grade and sharp curves of Balsam mountain as they head west towards Sylva, NC crossing over one of many bridges along the mountain.

doesn't it look like a heart somehow?

Himalayan Balsam: Impatiens glandulifera is a large annual plant native to the Himalayas. Via human introduction it is now present across much of the Northern Hemisphere and is considered an invasive species in many areas. Uprooting or cutting the plants is an effective means of control.
Why is Himalayan balsam a problem?
Despite typically being found near water, Himalayan Balsam can spread rapidly into adjacent woodlands. It has a negative effect on native plants by shading them out. ... One of the biggest problems caused by Himalayan Balsam is the damage it causes to habitats along banks and riversides, such as fish spawning beds.
Himalayan balsam was introduced as a garden plant in 1839, but soon escaped and became widely naturalised along riverbanks and ditches, especially close to towns. It is fast-growing and spreads quickly, invading wet habitat at the expense of other, native flowers. Its explosive seed pods aid its spread by sending the seeds into the river, causing further dispersal downstream.
Our largest annual plant, it flowers from July to October.

I haven’t been sleeping well since the beginning of July. Mercury is in retrograde again, need I say more? :) So I had no trouble getting up before sunrise this morning. It was just me and the mosquitoes. (Oh why do they love me so much?!)
Anyway, despite the biting insects, I feel excited and happy for the first time in a long time. I think this photo captures my current state of being. I know this elated feeling won’t last. It can’t last! But it’s lovely to feel grateful to be alive and hopeful. Of course, I’m wishing the very same for all of you. xx

This was taken last year on one of my favorite all-time hikes. This year I decided to visit other nearby hikes which ended up being disappointing in comparison. Plus, and maybe I'm imagining it, it seems like the wildflowers are a couple weeks behind this year. Possibly due to the freakish snow we had in April? Anyways, my attempts to see similar open fields of colorful blooms has been futile this year. But, there's always next year! And will make it a point to revisit this gem for sure! :)

The Himalayan Balsam has probably seen every once before in the great outdoors - it is one of the most invasive plant species in Europe, because it displaces native plants. It originally comes from India.
For children, the balsam is a sheer delight. Because if you touch the ripe peppers with pointed fingers, they explode and propel their seeds into the environment.
