A great day in the field. Made all the more enjoyable by being shared with three other people who value it just as much.

Yeah, one of them's the boss, but we don't hold it against him.

The two main tasks set before our small group were accomplished. But you can add on top of that...

One 1.2-meter bullsnake rescued off the road.

Knowledge and identification of dozens of plant species shared. Hundreds of flowers photographed. Including bitterroots.

A shared hike up to the pulpit.

Well, not quite. Too windy to step out on that narrow granite outcrop. Two of us wouldn't even get close. Still, wonderful views. Shared with a couple pairs of territorial falcons.

Kudos to any of you who can identify this other discovery...
