 I was surprised to see this early mustard wildflower blooming at this elevation this early. To get to where I found this I had to walk through 2 feet of snow and the lake was still frozen. It was on a south facing slope, which gives it a bit more heat, but it was snowing at the time.

Nice subject. I like the contrast between the flowers and rocks. Just wish there was a tad more rock along the bottom edge.
