Another lovely walk…another day playing with thunderstorms! A 15 km walk from Rennes-le-Chateau to Espéraza (where there’s a quirky market on a Sunday - great stop for lunch and gift shopping). ‘Weather’ was forecast for late pm but storm clouds rolled in just after lunch so we hoofed it back to Rennes. Some big fat raindrops, thunder rumbling and lightening flashing on the next hill over. But as we reached Rennes the sun came back out again and we enjoyed a beer on a sunny terrace.

#walking

Photo taken from a high view point over a market place thronged with people. Colourful umbrellas and awnings throw shade over the stalls. The square is lined by pale stone buildings, one with beautiful teal shutters. Trees grow in the centre of the place - stalls continue in all directions. The sky is blue with a few white clouds.
Photo from a view at the edge of a hilltop town. A couple of houses and gardens in the foreground on the left, a wooded slope dropping down steeply to the right. The foreground is bright but the valley and hills beyond are obscured by thick grey rain clouds in which thunder rumbles.
Photo of a bottle of French saison beer on a table overlooking a landscape which had recently been under storm clouds but is now bathed in sunshine. The bottle has a red label with the name La Mandra and an illustration of a fox on it. The Pyrenees mountains are a dark line in the not-so-distant distance, under white cloud.

Also saw one of the prettiest orchids…the burnt tip orchid.

I must look up the name of the blue flowers in the background. They grow everywhere here and are just the perfect shade of blue.

This is a Mariposa lily I found on my hike today at Henry Coe park, southeast of San Jose, California. It is my favorite local wildflower.

Spring Gentian (Gentiana sierrae). Endemic to Spain's Sierra Nevada grows between 1800m and 3200m. Lucky enough to see loads of these beautiful flowers today in a high valley at 2300m

part 1
@pagan @3goodthings Went out for what I thought would be just a bit of fresh air and brief chores, as it was raining just before I went out. In fact it cleared slightly off and on, didn't rain and--continued:

  1. I was able to find 8 species of wildflowers that either started since I was out last Thurs, or had started to flower in earnest since then plus
  2. several more things flowering in the gardens, some nice views in bits of sun when it came
  3. what I thought would be very quick jaunt onto the farm to look at Caltha turned into a longer walk, lots of photos and video and enjoying a beautiful spring afternoon as things begin to green--continued:

Red Campion for the #WildflowerHour #PinkFamily challenge. Not one of my more difficult botanising trips - it's growing in a planter in my front yard in which I encourage wild flowers. Not that they don't also take over the rest of the yard, but some of them aren't so good at growing in the cracks. #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Having not done a real hike since November, it seemed the perfect time to launch myself on ~40 miles over 3 days backpacking.

Day 1 started in old growth redwoods, passed remains of homesteading, then climbed past a selection of trees to one of the old growth redwood backpacking camps.

New blog post: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2024/04/grasshopper-homestead-and-baxter-to.html

Western fairy slippers (Calypso bulbosa var. occidentalis). Two flowers of the orchid family stand facing the other direction at the foot of a conifer in forest duff. The flowers have purple petals sticking up like some sort of headdress. A rounded petal group sticks down, purple on the outside and striped red toward the top on the inside, big dots toward the bottom. Oh, and hairs. No leaves are visible below the flowers.
Starting up Baxter Trail at Baxter Environmental Camp. Big trees on either side of a road blocked with bollards and already shrinking due to only being legal as a trail now. More big tees behind.
Outhouse for scale! Arriving at Whiskey Flat Trail Camp. Trees almost as wide as the road passing between them rise well past the top of the portrait photograph. Tucked just behind one is an outhouse. More trees fill in the rest of the space.

I managed to squeeze in one more hike in the foothills before the weekend crowds descend. Many spring wildflowers and Lark Sparrows along the 6-mile loop kept me entertained.

A small bird sings from a perch atop a bush with no leaves. Its belly is light gray with a black spot in the middle. A black line extends down from its beak to its shoulder. There is a rusty patch and black line behind its eye and a rusty stripe on its head. The wing is scalloped with black and soft brown colors.

It's springtime in Maine. These colors won't last long.

An unusual pink-flowered Common Rock-rose (Helianthemum nummularium) growing on Solsbury Hill near . Flowers of this species are normally yellow. Potentially an escape, but given the location this would be unlikely.

Some call it a weed, but for me dandelions are one of my favorite spring flowers.

Here is my tribute to dandelions - a pencil drawing from some years ago:
