These are fairy slippers. The whole plants are about 2-3 inches tall. They were found along some great brookie water at high altitude

Very cool.
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

find a puddle or trickle of water above 8500' in colorado and you can bet it has either brooks or cutts.
