Wild Colours

Canada's Rocky Mountain Wildflowers
Jul 04, 2011zipread rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
This book is not very big but what it is lacking in size it more than makes up for in beauty. Authors Gilbert and Graham are best thought of as photographers rather than authors. This book contains a collection of exquisite photographs taken in the Canadian Rockies: Waterton Lakes; Yoho National Park; Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park; and Banff National Park among others. Nor are the photographs your typical mountain vistas either though there are a few of them too. Rather the focus is on the wild flowers of this wonderous part of Canada: Beargrass and Fireweed; Blue Clematis and Shooting Star; Moss Campion and Spotted Saxifrage. Be warned: this picture book will have you packing for the mountains real quick.
