Stopping to Smell the Flowers

Clusters of pale purple flowers like crocuses grew near Lake Limpiopungo.   

Mr. Hunter stopped to admire them, but posing with them was a challenge. 

That's my finger there, trying to hold Mr. Hunter steady.  Even though he was posing on the ground, the wind was intense enough that Mr. H would blow over unless I held him.
