June 28, 2012 I found this plant blooming at a rest area near Mammoth Lakes, CA. I never pass up a chance to look for wildflowers!
The top of the basalt columns at Devils Postpile is fascinating! During the Ice Ages, glaciers scoured the columns and smoothed them off leaving patterns that look like the surface of a soccer ball!
This pretty bright pink wildflower is very common in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I liked how these were blooming amid the basalt columns at Devils Postpile National Monument.
