Wildflowers (and fruits) #22 + Fauna

A quiet and sunny morning walk  (after severe thunderstorms yesterday).

A couple of the wildflowers are noted for the first time this year. The others are tough enough to have kept blooming over a summer of drought and high heat and deserve a reprise.

rabbit brush / Chrysothamnus nauseosus (and it does stink!)

Rocky Mountain Beeplant or stinking clover / Cleome serruluta
