"Nature like a fluid seems to drench and steep us throughout, as the whole sky and the rocks and flowers are drenched with spiritual life - with God."
The Contemplative John Muir
When I arrived at Lion Lakes on my hike last week, I was amazed to see how many Alpine Bog Laurel blooms there are this year. Exploring these marshy meadows entailed getting my feet wet, but it was well worth it. Whenever I encounter huge swaths of wildflowers like this, I think of the utter exuberance of life. Notice the stream in the middleground, creating these blooming bogs.
