Winter Sage

Sage, a wise and stoic figure or a shrubby plant? Maybe one and the same. Blacktail Plateau, Yellowstone National Park.

    Surprisingly enjoyable, and the last few days have featured spectacular winter sunsets.

  I agree and those works of art made by humans that are the most beautiful follow the way of nature.

  Well, not much aroma coming from the sage at that time and I am not sure of the specific species. This sage grows on the high-plains of wyoming and can get pretty tall and can make a dense sea of sage in the summer.

  It is always great to see a big old sage growing In a wild landscape they seem to thrive on this plateau and even look good doing so. Hope you are having a good day.
