It's like I've face-planted into a giant colour palette. Picking myself up off the ground, there are wildflowers in every direction I look. Pink, white, mauve, yellow and every shade between.
I'll try and pay more attention where I plonk my foot next time, but it's hard not to be distracted when walking through such an inspiring landscape. The kaleidoscope of alpine blooms reminds me of a pre-COVID family trip to the German Alps to the very location where The Sound of Music was filmed. Only here, the hills aren't alive with Julie Andrew's melodic cadence, rather the low-pitched hum of those denizens of summer in the high country - march flies.
