William and Maymie Kimes Annotation
""What I regard as the typical glacier meadow, is formed by the filling in of a glacier lake, and is found only in the alpine region of the Sierra .... The sod is close and silky ... and so brilliantly enameled with flowers and butterflies that it well may be called a garden-meadow, or meadow-garden .... "" Muir depicts the beauty of meadow life through the seasons, and concludes with a discussion of the several ""species"" of glacier meadows.
