Check on My Friends

So on yesterday’s outing I had a mission.

The damp ground was a beautiful mosaic of colors!
A tiny 1.5 to 2mm black beetle!
Can you find the beetle? The plant is Engelmann’s Bladderpod (Physaria engelmannii).
It had been 8 days since I had been here. This was my mission, keeping track of the Trout Lilies! First leaf was found.
I checked the ground temperature. I hope in the future this will perhaps give me a hint on when to expect their arrival to the surface.
Further along some of the Trout Lilies (Erythronium mesochoreum) were blooming! Yahoo!

My friends are back for the season! Yes, it was hard to pull myself away. However if I hadn’t pressing chores I would have stayed longer. Forty-five minutes was all I had time for.
