We spotted thousands of Yellow Mountain Avens along the banks of Three Sisters Creek this morning. This member of the rose family prefers rocky habitats at low elevation valleys in the Canadian Rockies. There are probably very few days each year when it’s possible to spot the flower in bloom, the distinctive twisted plume (a la Dr. Seuss) that characterizes the transition stage, and the silky sphere that emerges when the flower has gone to seed.

About GeoKs
Our family enjoys outdoor adventures in the beautiful southwest corner of Alberta: hiking, biking, geocaching and nature photography are some of our favourite activities.
We started hiking as a family in 2004, when our youngest was 4 years old. We started geocaching in 2006, when our friends "Sears Tower" introduced us to high-tech treasure hunting. We especially enjoy earthcaches. We've been slowly migrating from paved path cycling to single-track riding. And as far as photography goes, Mr. GeoK and our oldest son avidly pursue great shots in the beautiful Canadian Rockies.
