A man learns to appreciate the beauty of flowers as part of The Lord's Bounty

On a day-hike today, 8/12/21, from Lava Camp Lake Trailhead to Yapoah Crater in the Three Sisters Wilderness in Central Oregon, I got a very gorgeous surprise I was not expecting of endless meadows of trailside flowers in the middle of a burnout area. Life and beauty brimming up to overcome an area of death and decay. With the sun just starting to rise it had a spiritual quality to it.
