Sprung.
April 9th, 2010
Spring is goin’ on outside somewhere. I’m a little sunburned, windburned and I got hailed on four times. Washington spring is always a very temperamental thing.
First of the camas to pop.
Climbing and training have begun in earnest in an attempt to get back to where I left off last year. Everyone is anxious to get outside and climb, but the weather’s been throwin’ sliders at us a little. None this weekend, perhaps next. But, it’s still spring, so who really cares?
Where was the picture taken? Love the flower, reminds me of early spring in the mountains when you were younger! You used to lay down in those kinds of meadows and watch the clouds.

Hi mom, This picture was taken last week at a place called Glacial Heritage Preserve, a prairie restoration site that I took some field ecology students to last Friday on the Mima prairie. The flower is common camas, Cammasia quamash, probably ssp. beviflora but I’m not sure since their inflorescence were so immature. It was a good day.
