[Monday morning] Ha, realized where all the time has gone: i've been identifying flowers for three months. I've roughly 144 shots of the eclipse, plus the shots i took up in Butterfly Valley Botanical reserve. I think i have a stunning photo of a coralroot orchid, plus the pitcher plants were fabulous. A whole field! I'm not sure what i was expecting, but i thought it would be more work to find them. I didn't find any sundews, and i wonder how i might find a guided botanical tour of the area.

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions isn't sending me an account so i can sign the petition to make taxpayer funded research results available freely on the internet.

This is a close up of a orchid blossom on a spotted coral root. The flower is about the size of a fingertip.

The set of images from the Sunday road trip are all tagged event120520eclipse. I've got 17 images up as of Monday night from the Butterfly Valley and have written up observation and travel notes in my Evernote Naturalist Notebook.


No processing and posting of my eclipse photos yet.

My brother arrived at our place last night around 10 pm. This morning i spent chatting with him and we went out for breakfast before i started my 8 am call.
