Subalpine meadows around the park are shining with numerous blooming wildflowers. Some common wildflowers, seen in this photo from Indian Henry’s Hunting Ground, are lupine, Sitka valerian, rosy spirea and more. However you don’t have to go far to view wildflowers. Paradise Valley Road, for example, has excellent displays along the roadway. Where are you finding wildflowers?
Remember, please stay on trail! There are plenty of opportunities for the perfect mountain + wildflower photo from the trails! No need to step off trail and crush other flowers in your quest for the perfect shot.

This week marks the 75th anniversary of Partition. The choas and displacement of Partiton made women extremely vulnerable. After Partition, camps were formed on both sides of the border where recovered women were housed until their families could be located. The photograph shown is of a women's camp in Lahore in 1948. The women in the photo was taken there in August of 1947 and is seen here reunited with her husband after being separated from each other for 10 months. She is detained pending verifications before she can leave. In the camps, they undergo medical examinations (to control epidemics).
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (dir. Wes Anderson).
Netflix's series of four ultra-faithful short film adaptations of the many works of British children's author Roald Dahl are whimsically irreverent. Translated quite literally with actors narrating or repeating the literary text almost verbatim, Anderson blends his own unmistakable filmmaking style perfectly with Dahl's magical surrealism.
Benedict Cumberbatch stars as the titular all-seeing gambler amidst a well-casted ensemble. While Henry Sugar is the clear standout of the bunch as thirty-seven minutes of pure joyful wonder, all four shorts feature impeccable production design and fun performances from its recurring cast.
