Sondahl's Pictures of Idaho Wildness 3:
Here is the Clearwater River at Spring Levels with the
following blue flower, which crops up in sunny locations all over the region:
Wild Hyacinth (Brodiaea Smith douglasii)
But these are Yellow Peas, growing by the Clearwater.
They grow two feet high and look to be kind of cloverish. (Thermopsis montana)
This is a bluetailed skink. I caught it on our property
in Spirit Lake, and have seen others roaming wild there. I photographed
it in a bowl, since they're very mobile, and cutesied up the image with
some fake leaves.
Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora), common in the woods
north of Priest Lake. I thought it was a fungus, but it's worse ;-)
It's a parasite on a fungus...
Can't have a Western wildflower page without Paint brush...
The Calypso orchid is the belle of the ball... Found
in wet woods...
