Old Man of the Mountains

These are the seed heads of the Western Pasque Flower, photographed by my wife along the Berg Lake trail in Mount Robson Provincial Park. It had rained the night before, so everything was very wet when we hiked the trail in the morning. Because these seed heads look liike a wild head of hiar the Western Pasque Flower, Anemone occidentalis, is sometimes called the Old Man of the Mountains.
