Mouse on a Stick



"I honestly believe it is better to know nothing
than to know what ain't so."
~Josh Billings, 1818-1885 (in "Solemn Thoughts")

Poor mountain anemone (a.k.a. mouse on a stick; dish mop; old man of the mountains; tow-head baby; windflower, pasqueflower). Pasqueflower comes from the French word for Easter, since the anemone blooms early in spring. Anemone and lupine are favorite food of the Pika. Thanks to Old Man Travels.
