it's the little things

when i was younger and living at home my family and i would go on hikes and my dad would point out the wild flowers and and tell us the name of each one. since then this has been one of my favorite kinds. it's called monkshood and it usually grows around water. this picture was taken last summer at brighton camp. i searched for this flower on every hike i went on, and one day i found it right under my nose; it was in camp by the stream. love it!
