Mill Creek Canyon
Hiking in Mill Creek Canyon. This time we went to Pipeline Trail. The signs on the trail also showed "Rattlesnake Gulch", so my husband was thrilled because he thought he could finally see one, but fortunately we didn't encounter none of them. Good for ME!
From the viewpoint.
There was a rainbow on the mountains. Well, you can't see it very well in the picture...
I don't know the name of these flowers...
This one might be "Scarlet Paintbrush", I guess.
These are "Yellow Gracier-Lily", also called "Snow-Lily".
These flowers reminded me "katakuri", which is named as "erythronium japonicum" in Latin. It has a purple flower instead of yellow. I found it every year in the forest behind our home, and felt that the early spring was there.
People used to got starch from its bulb, and this starch was called "katakuri-ko", which is replaced with potato starch today. But the name "katakuri-ko" is still used unchanged to call starch.

Hey Kanakita,
If your husband and you would like to meet a rattlesnake, you should've been with Natasha and me in Bigcottonwood canyon last summer - it jumped out of the trail right in front of us with that hair-raising sound!
Kanako,
you took really beautiful pictures! I think, I'd rather been there this weekend instead where I was...:-)
My gosh...! I'm happy that I haven't encountered any of them so far... But my husband is wishing to see it someday soon. I can't understand it.
So, where did you go/were you this weekend? Did you also go hiking?
