(We've been back from vacation for a week, and are pretty much recovered. Blogging got left along the road, in part due to intermittent connectivity, in part to the - desirable - distractions of the trip. I'll intercut a few saved posts with new material for a couple of days.)
Along the way, we stopped off in Laramie, Wyoming to visit with old friends Isobel Nichols and Brett Glass, proprietor of the local Lariat.Net WISP. Along with a walking tour of the old town, knowing that we were wildflower fans they treated us to a hike at the nearby Vedauwoo Turtle Rock recreation area. The unseasonably rainy weather obliged with a few perfect hours for the walk. Some more eye candy for those of like mind:
Unknown (to me) variety of skullcap
Thanks for Isobel and Brett for an enjoyable excursion!
