Minty Fresh, Missoula, Montana

Carefully balancing (in my favoured crouch) so as to avoid  interrupting my camera time with a unexpected swim, I kept thinking, 'What is that familiar scent?'

Finally - ding! ding! - I realized I had crouched amidst a healthy plot of mint that lined the stream bank. With a slight rotation of stance, the intricate flower constructions came into delightful focus. 

Join in my fragrant photo shoot by sipping some vibrant peppermint tea while you savour today's photo. 
I'm off to brew a cuppa!
