Awesome! I have never seen the flowers. I find the leaves and then forget to go back. Did you see the photobomber? Posted 4 years ago

  I did see it! :D What a cutie!
  
  This is my first time seeing the flowers, actually. I begged Jason to take me to this trail yesterday, and he helped me get down to this location and back to the car. I had an instinct that they would be in bloom, and I was right! Maybe this vaccine is giving me special powers? LOL Posted 4 years ago
