More Flowers… Priest Lake, Idaho

Two posts in two days.  Ceasing wonders and all aside the truth is we’ve just got too many photos.  One solution would be to not take so many photos.  The other would be to not post too many photos.  Since the first one isn’t a preferred option and the second one would let down our faithful readers, we’ve decided to post more photos.

In this case, flowers.  And here we go.  These first flowers are in the super tiny category.  They’d be about the size of your pinky fingernail or smaller.
