Flowers
Pink, Fireweed, Chamerion angustifolium, Sierra Wildflowers Yosemite National Park
Hiking South of Wilmer Lake on the Pacific Crest Trail in the North Yosemite Backcountry we climb Bailey Ridge. The flattened top of Bailey Ridge holds a number of Black Vernal Ponds stained with tannin, but also a couple of great ponds persisting in an interesting equilibrium.
Here I found this delightful flower, which I (mis) identify as Elegant Clarkia.

The flowers were just beginning to burst out of their pods.
This flower was very early. The majority of the terrain was still covered with Spring snows. Here's a picture of the snowcover from that June 2009 trip:
