Alpine Flowers





Happy Mother's Day to my North American and Japanese moms! In France, mother's day is not until the end of this month. Interesting!

Our doggie friends invited me for a hike up in Chamrousse from Bachat Bouloud up to Lac Achard. It could not have been better in terms of temperature, scenery, level of exhaustion, etc. I got to see some alpine flowers including wild tulips, pulsatile printanière (the fuzzy one, a type of anemone), gentiane (Japanese "rindou") and many violets.

Grenoble's altitude is around 450m and I was above 1900m today to see those flowers. This is a small hike in the afternoon.
