Ah this makes me long for Spring, but it will be here soon enough.

Yeah it felt like spring but it was the end of June beginning of July but do you expect at the roof of the world.

Those are pretty little flowers-- this may be a silly question, but do they smell nice?
Wow, that fog in the background is intense. That has to be an interesting place to explore.

No scent. There are limited pollinators up there and the growing season so short that having big flowers rather than scent is more cost effective for the plant in attracting something to polinate it.
The fog is from the temperature differntial from the air and the glacier that is further up the valley. I was amazing sitting in the drizzle listening to the deep bassy rummbles and cracks of the glacier.
We even found a snow leopard print in the sand further up.

That's really amazing, I'm envious. A snow leopard print too, wow!! The thought of sitting and listening to the glaciers is interesting, too. Can't help but wonder what that'd be like.
I wish I could share stories like yours! The furthest out I've been is Arizona and Utah, to a couple of parks there (To the Zion, Bryce, and Antelope canyons.)-- they were amazing, it was a great experience. I want to do more exploring so I can trade stories, too. u_u
