\"WildWild Blue Flax in the High Uintas – Nikon D200, f6.3, 1\/640, ISO 400, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I have begun to see Wild Blue Flax (Linum lewsii<\/em>) blooming in the Salt Lake Valley and even though it will be some time before it blooms in the alpine meadows of the High Uintas<\/span><\/a> I thought I would post this image taken there in July of 2010.<\/p>\n

I adore the delicacy of the Wild Blue Flax and the sage-green color of the foliage and how they move so gracefully in a breeze. My hope is to photograph more wildflowers this year when my lens isn’t trained on birds wherever I travel.<\/p>\n

I hope you have a wonderful day.<\/p>\n

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