Flowers

Alaska has wildflowers in abundance. The Spring and Summer growing seasons are amazingly fecund. Greenery grows up wherever there is so much as a pinch of earth. It even grows up aggressively through tiny cracks in the sidewalk. Wildflowers grow out in crazy brambles, lining the streets with color.

Here are a few shots I took tonight.

I'm not sure what these are called. And sorry the photo is so lousy. My camera has never cared for blues or purples.
