John took this as we were taking one of many breaks during our backpacking trip. We were sitting in one of the beautiful alpine meadows I have ever seen (well who am I kidding...the only alpine meadow I've ever seen). Purple, pink, red and yellow flowers colored the grassy plain that went on for miles around (I should know since we hiked through it) and snowcapped mountains surrounded the area. It was like being on the set of "Sound of Music".
