The Long Nosed Leopard Lizard was huge… we saw quite a few of that kind, but very shy, so we could not get a good photo
A wasp I think
Thistledown
Indian Paintbrush
California Newt
Can you spot the newt here?
“Farewell to Spring” – Clarkia Amoena is my favorite flower. Yes, I took a lot of it’s pictures (that’s about 15% posted here)
The most abundant flower at this season – yellow star thistel
An orchid
I regret that I didn’t photograph Yerba Buena, an herb really abundant on Black Mountain. We only recently learned to identify it but made some delicious tea.
