We’ve been having an absurdly cold May.  It’s been about ten degrees below normal most days and we’ve also continued our rainy winter well into the spring.  With some clear days on the weekend, we wanted to view a last gasp of some of the wildflowers.  The wet weather has kept them in bloom even at this later date.  Unfortunately,  it was ridiculously cold for a late May day when you consider the roughly twenty mile per hour wind.   In any event, we were rewarded with clear views and lots of flowers.
