June in the Rockies means flowers & lots of 'em. These beauties are Calypso Orchids (related to the yellow Lady's Slipper) found on the trail up to Cascade Lookout. It was perfect hiking weather today: overcast but not rainy, calm and about 15 degrees. It's such a pleasure to have all of this beauty right out my back door. It almost makes up for the dearth of quality available men around here. Sigh.
