Alpine scenery
Creeks like this shelter flowers and butterflies. Snowfields are melting rapidly in the higher than normal temperatures. Along a rockfall I found 2 Pikas gathering plants for winter food. Pikas don't hibernate thru the winter, they live under the snow eating their "haypiles."
Ooh - you saw a dipper! I'm going to get excited every time you see a dipper - still remembering how excited I was at 14 years old to see one on our big trip west.
