This morning I wanted to share some of the wildflowers I photographed in 2022. Birds are my primary subjects yet I simply can’t resist focusing on wildflowers. Each year I try to add to my wildflower gallery.<\/p>\n

This gallery has some of the colorful wildflowers I found and took images of this year. Click on the first photo for a slideshow of the images I took this year and to view them at a larger size.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Unlike 2021, which was horribly affected by our ongoing drought, 2022 was a good year for wildflowers. They were especially great in the mountains where just enough moisture fell to help them along. I was delighted and enchanted to have all of these wildflowers and more in my viewfinder in 2022.<\/p>\n

I hope that the 2023 wildflower season in Utah blooms with wild and glorious abandon!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
