GRAND CANYON VOLUNTEER - SEPTEMBER 16 - WEEK 15

This is the end of another busy week. I have been working on updating my Flora of the North Rim book and it has meant a lot of time with my nose in flower books and searching the web. There are several sunflower species which are difficult to pinpoint. Then yesterday I found another one!!

The early part of the past week was quite wet which got tiresome for us as everyone wanted to know when it would stop raining, and the clouds would lift. It has been drying out the last couple of days, but yesterday I did get rained on while roving at Pt. Imperial, and on the drive back to the "village". It cleared off nicely for George's star party last night though.

I will try to get some pictures into this but we are off in another day for Idaho to visit our daughter, Klara. So there are lists to be generated, and packing to do. Of course there is more photography to be done as well.

She may be able to help me with the botany but this really not her location. :-)
