Mountain Misery

Anyone who's bushwacked in the western Sierra at about 4-5,000' in elevation knows why the sheephereders of the 19th century called this flowering plant Mountain Misery. Photographed in the Redwood Mountain Grove, Kings Canyon National Park, CA

"I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings." --John Burroughs
