A Few More from Oakland Camp





Here are a few more photos from last Sunday's walks in the vicinity of the Oakland Feather River Camp. Besides the showy flowers already blooming, we saw lots of buds of other species that will bloom soon. The ones I anticipate most are the other two species of milkweeds as they attract such a great variety of pollinators. Hopefully, I'll start finding butterfly larvae, too. They are usually hanging from the undersides of leaves, so you don't see them unless you patiently turn over leaf after leaf. Fun, though. There's always a surprise eventually - in this area that could be a rattlesnake!
