“Gopher Snake”

Wildflower and grass fields make for some nice photos right now, but very hot hiking.

Something a little different today. It just caught my eye.

“Washington Lily With Friend”

This was about four miles up the Shale Ridge Trail - a single flower blooming without any others of the same species around that I could spot.
