Decided a long hike looking for flowers might not be a good choice today, so i’m sticking around the house. Watching radar, I snuck out between rain bands while the next downpour was still over the White Tank Mountains. Unlike yesterday, when I got soaked walking to the post office, today I was smart enough to wear a rain jacket, just in case.
Naturally, wearing the rain jacket warded off any rain. š
Flower-wise, the valley between North Mountain and Shaw Butte is golden with Brittlebush, even after 36 hours of rain. Even spotted one lupine looking good.
