More Wildflowers and More Wind

The first part of my wildflower hunt on Saturday was a little windy, but by the time we left the first site the wind really picked up.  Up to 33 mph gusts, as a matter of fact.

I followed Dean, Diane and Mary to the next wildflower site which was just a short walk away from the Ice Age Trail.  We were on the hunt for Pasque Flowers.  Good thing I had experienced wildflower hunters with me, because I walked right over them.

They told me there more last week, but I was happy to see any at all.  Another new wildflower for me, and in a place I would have never expected.  Driving by a spot like that along the highway you wouldn't see anything at all.  And there was even some Prairie Smoke starting to bloom too.

I considered taking a short stroll on the Ice Age Trail, but the walk back to the car in the wind discouraged me and I kept driving as I passed the trailhead.  I only work a half day Thursday and then I have a 3 day weekend so I'm thinking about camping again before my next wildflower hike.  Hopefully the trees will start leafing out a bit more by then...and hopefully the wind won't blow all the wildflowers away.
