Another wildflower from our Lost Canyon hike in Canyonlands National Park, also known as the Fragrant Evening Primrose.

We've been away for several weeks and have been very busy as well. This was taken in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. We left home on the 26th of April and drove to Canyonlands where we spent two days hiking and exploring the park and the area of Moab, Utah. From Canyonlands we headed south to Texas, first to hill country west of San Antonio where we spent a day at Garner State Park and the Rio Frio where we used camp with our family. From Garner we went to San Antonio and picked up our oldest daughter who had flown in from Belfast. With her we went to Big Bend National Park and spent a week hiking and camping and then went back to San Antonio and spent several days there before leaving her at the airport and heading home. On the trip home we went from temperatures of 100F (38C) in Texas to 15F (-9C) in southern Idaho and from dust storms in Texas, New Mexico and southern Utah to a blizzard in the mountains southeast of Salt Lake City. It was a very good trip, however, and we will probably do something similar next year.

These beautiful wildflowers were photographed in Canyonlands National Park in Utah.

There wasn't a lot blooming when we visited the Bass River Recreation Area in Western Michigan in September, but what we saw we photographed, including these Common Evening Primroses.
