Only biology, but what a beautiful summer for wildflowers


I wish I knew all of the names. We had a fast snow melt but then a long cool wet summer. The rain coupled with a rich volcanic soil made the best wildflower season in years.

Blue Columbine, the state flower

An incredible outcrop of conglomerate. As my wife said, every trip is a geology trip!
