Midsummer in the mountains

We haven't had time to go to the mountains recently. Or if there was time the weather was bad. Today, however it was hot in Jaca so we drove over the border with France and stopped at the cross-country ski resort of Le Somport and went for a walk along the tracks where people ski in the winter. Sheltered by trees and lined with wild flowers it was perfect for a hot afternoon.

Here are some of the flowers we saw. In the open it was very windy, but not a bit cold. On the way back to the car we sat down for a moment, without talking,  and suddenly there was a roe deer on the path ahead of us. There was an instant before it noticed us, and then it bounded up the hillside into the trees; we could still see it now and then because we knew it was there. I'm sure it's not rare, but what a treat! This is a snippet of video; the wind makes a terrible noise!
