you know Dean, sometimes I get hit with a sneeze episode, not sure what it is...but bottom line is I don't have near the sinus problems down here that I do in Canmore, where something irritates me for weeks every spring....incredible colors this spring, beyond our expectations, cheers

Hi Dow. It's actually an Indigo Bush. The best way to tell the difference is to smell the flowers. Sages have a very intense minty fragrance. Also, Indigo's white branches are very characteristic. Cheers!

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
