A few random flowers from around Death Valley. Gravel Ghost, I think. ![](http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag259/RebeccaDouglass/P1000509_zpsomtjztt7.jpg) About as close as it got to carpets; the best of the bloom on the valley floor was over. There was still a field of Desert Gold, just a bit spindly ![](http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag259/RebeccaDouglass/P1000529_zpsmkkjr69h.jpg) Everybody's chowing down in a rock nettle: ![](http://i1370.photobucket.com/albums/ag259/RebeccaDouglass/To%20Post/P1000506_zpspbd9iii0.jpg)

^ Love the first two shots (that Gravel Ghost in particular is very cool)! Not too big a fan of bugs. *ugh* ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) One more from yesterday evening, similar to the previous photo but landscape orientation now: ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1649/26033364652_ea92032464_z.jpg) Hopefully, I can repeat the above photo(s) once the flowers bloom in the next couple of days.

Well, I can take ladybirds, and even bees in flower photos, but not much else. I think I'm a wimp. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) (By the way, the flower in your bug photo is beautiful!)

Iceplant. It was a bad idea, but there's no denying the blooms are lovely ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I'm always fascinated by the bugs in the flowers. How about a blue spiderwort loaded with nymphs? Compliments of the Fairfield State Park, Fairfield, Tx. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/TexasDave/DSC_7175.png)

Love that lichen-draped moss, Travis. That's a cool color pattern.

Finally saw the first sign of spring in the Colorado Springs area. Took a nice hike today and saw lots of these Spring Beauties (aptly named). Steve, for you they are Claytonia lanceolata ![](http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg269/woodsie_2008/99505b0d-5675-41fa-9791-03d87ae7e54b_zpsuq4h2gxz.jpg)
