Buena Vista

Once again I am way behind...So, here is the month of June summed up in 4 posts. The best part is that all of this happened a while ago and I don't really have much to say about it. Lots of wildlife and wildflowers. On a hike up Buena Vista trail in Yosemite, Teresa and I came across a rubber boa who was apparently trying to pass as a garter snake. Perched on a log bridge across a small stream, he looked like he was attempting to fish. Silly boa.


Shortly after the boa we found a baby grouse (thought is was a quail but apparently I thought wrong) hanging out under a bush trying to be inconspicuous. It may have succeeded except that one of its siblings bolted across the trail and drew our attention to the remaining youngster.

Meadows full of shooting stars. Always a good sign that it is indeed a wet meadow.
