Piney Lake False Hellebore

I'd planned on photographing Piney Lake, north of Vail, CO, for sunset last Saturday, but clouds moved in, the ceiling lowered, rain started and the higher elevations were obviously getting snow. Luckily the drive in was not a total bust. The wet meadows were full of Marsh Marigolds, Corn Lily (or False Hellebore) and whatever those pretty little yellow flowers are (I couldn't find an ID for them).


By the way, apparently False Hellebore is quite toxic. So even though those leaves look perfect for your backcountry ceasar salad, definitely refrain from munching on them. ;-)

Excellent! Love the False Hellabore! Bummed I didn't get up to shoot it this year!
