Wildflower hunting on a Sunday morning; I'm going to put it as "moderate" because there were long stretches where it was very green, but no flowers. Lupins, lupins, lupins! And several other species of little blue flowers. This year's golden drifts come courtesy of a small yellow daisy-like blossom, as the poppies are scarce on the ground. (I've seen more in my neighbors' yards, in fact.) The hdgehogs are in bloom, and more Indian paintbrush than I ever recall seeing at this elevation, especially on the Dutchman leg of the loop.
