Old Man of the Mountains

Old Man of the Mountains
This is the seed head of the Western Pasqueflower, Anemone occidentalis, a very common sight in the mountains in autumn. Known for obvious reasons as the Old Man of the Mountains, this one is already losing its seeds. It was photographed along the Galena-Chain Lakes trail in the North Cascades near Mount Baker.

Great shot, Ron, and thanks for the info on the species, which I haven't seen since living in Colorado. I had forgotten what the seed head looks like. Now I can't keep from thinking about "Cousin It."

This reminds me somewhat of cotton grass which is very prevalent in Norway. A lovely seed-head of a lovely flower.
