Las Trampas in Spring
Went for a wonderful hike around the eastern portion of Las Trampas Regional Wilderness last Sunday, up through scrub, oak woodland, and batches of grassland, stuff blooming throughout. In addition to all the cool things I found (including my first White Fairy Lanterns!), I was surprised to find so much black oak and blue oak in the hills. Kinda cool.

This is a wind poppy (Stylomecon heterophylla. Previously I had only seen this species on Mt. Diablo, but they were growing in profusion in parts of Las Trampas, particularly along the Mahogany and Trapline trails. I love their shiny petals.

It's a Mediterranean, but it's still pretty. Growing here and there in the grassy parts of Las Trampas.

I am pretty sure this is a very late-rising springtime Amanita (Amanita velosa). It had remnants of a volva around its base in the soil.

When I turned the corner and saw these cream cups, I cried out, "Cream cups!" No one was there to witness the absurdity of the moment, which, I suppose, made it all the more absurd. Madcap adventures in solitude!

I went to Las Trampas in search of Calochortus superbus, but I found these instead. I'd say that's a fair trade. I couldn't believe how many of these there were! Almost every bit of shaded understory had some.

Velvet ants move around way too much. The only way I could get a picture of this one was when it thought it was safely concealed under some grass.

Damn. I was pretty excited to see this thing land as I was watching bees in the sage, but it was cagey and didn't want to let me get close.
