Finally, after too many lousy weather weekends, it was finally looking nice enough (on one day anyway) to go try a hike again. Back to Pole Mountain, where I got rained out last month.
Just an along the path shot. Day started out mostly clear, and warm. But there were a few clouds lurking to the west....
Thanks to one of the wettest spring/summers I can remember here, there are lots of small wildflowers throughout the open areas. Nice to see. Usually its just grass and the scrubby plants.
There's even some nice, larger wildflowers. I don't know what it is, but I like it.
The sight of grass growing inside the remains of a long dead and hollow tree stump is just kind of interesting to me.
Those clouds I mentioned earlier? They got together, had a talk, and decided let's rain a little! So they did. But then they left. Mr. Sun came back. But an hour later, the clouds had regrouped.
This time they brought their friends thunder and lighting. Along with BB sized hail and a little more rain. Sounds bad, but it was actually much less rain than last month.
A big pano of the second band of storms after it passed. It was getting late enough in the day so I headed for home. Besides, the clouds were grouping up for round three behind me. All in all, not a bad day. Only got mildly damp instead of soaked!
