Photo taken in La Vanoise Natioanl Park, France. August 2012. While hiking in the high Alps, I was amazed by the varieties of wildflowers growing throughout the peaks and valleys. Although it was past prime flower season, an intensely colorful tapestry of wildflowers continued to thrive. There were also tons of beautiful butterflies gracefully landing on flowers. I reminded me of the fragility of life and its utter beauty.

Photo taken in Pralognan-la-Vanoise, France. Flowers surrounded and illuminated this picturesque mountain town in the eastern region of France. Flowers lined the streets, seeped out of windows and graced the store fronts of shops and cafes. It created a merry, beautiful atmosphere in the heart of an already beautiful place.

Photo taken along La Tour de la Vanoise, France. I loved these wispy white flowers that swayed gently in the breeze. I don’t know what they are called but they certainly were beautiful.

I found these beauties along the Tour de la Vanoise in the French Alps. They appear to be some kind of thistle flower past its prime. I fell in love with their exotic, spindly look.

Walking, walking, walking. Up, up, up. Breathing deep. Feeling each and every breath. The air was so fresh that it made my lungs smile. Photo taken along the trek of La Tour de la Vanoise.

One of 800 photos taken during my trip around La Tour de la Vanoise in Savoie, France. The low-laying clouds were stunning. Memories can last a lifetime.
