Hillside walk, 13 August 2018
How delightful to have a relatively cool day for walking on the hillside! It was so pleasant.
The summer minimum continues. Nothing is really at its peak of bloom. Several species are represented by a true minimum of bloom. For example, the hillsides have many specimens of deerweed (Acmispon glaber var. glaber), but I saw only one that was flowering — and it had just a single flower that was smaller than usual.
