It is so gorgeous all around Rainier. Sadly a lot of the roads dont open until June/July. Hope you can visit the PNW again

An in situ Larch Mountain Salamander (Plethodon larselli) from last night

The Mountain!! You were basically in the town I'm from, so lucky to see her when the clouds aren't low

Compared to Phrynosoma yes

Phrynosoma are the best lizard

Well it seems like they did get Special K himself. Now if only Bibi could join him

Miss you my friend and we gotta get out in the field again soon

Wish I was back in Veracruz

That is crazy cool

Life is pretty
