(Saxifrage, Early - 02) The early saxifrage grows to heights of from 4 to 12 inches (10-30 cm.). These were on the shorter side. The leaves of the early saxifrage are basal and grow in a rosette around the hairy stem. The coarsely toothed leaves are wedge-shaped or oval. There are no leaves on the stems. The lichen growing on the rocks added character to the photo and interest to our visit.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
