I like your idea zhinu!!! It definitely could've been a sign to slow down (as in some part of the road that I needed to slow down for. Or that I need to slow down and smell the flowers in general. Those hours are part of the job of wildfire fighting. The entire group (several hundred people) put in that many hours in a shift. I only work on fires for anywhere from 4 to 10 weeks a year---usually. But, they pay overtime and I can't turn that down!

It's a native plant that was growing along side the road at about 3500' in elavation. This is a broader view. You can see many of them! You can also see where I stopped in my tracks when I noticed the shot and then backed up to take it.
