stopped to pick fireweed leaves for tea
underneath Granite Mountain. tinkham rd. exit 47.
worked my way up through the avy chutes on the south face
but got a little concerned shortly thereafter
about the fact that there was still a good amount
of snow above me and the day was getting hot. turned back.
late start. did see a sooty grouse strutting wildly back and forth.
tail feathers splayed out like a turkey's. two huge white
rings on his neck, flexing. sprinted after him to
see if he'd drop a feather in his panic. nope.
calypso orchids look like something lewis carroll would have
liked. trillium just hitting the upper slopes. salmonberries
still need a week or two. all this. (a sweep of the eye).
"you mean there's a senator for all this?"
