After hiking Mount Vernon, WA Little Mountain Park today I crossed the roadway from the East trailhead to the beaver pond on the other side to get a different angle on it. The pond is fed from runoff on Little Mountain rising to the left in this image.

A couple of sedges I took out of the plant press yesterday. I haven't identified them yet but I have material in the freezer. I'm avoiding them a little because it took me forever to get an id on the first one.

I'm really pleased how they turned out. The whole reason I wanted to do full herbarium specimens is because the truly works of art. In my plant id class we created smaller specimens by taping plants or part of plants to index cards, and the professor had told us we could create a collection that way and it certainly would've been easier but this is much more satisfying to me.

Bonus: my work table while identifying

The full lyrics to GHOST’s “Kiss The Go-Goat” has a lot of Gs and Ts. What matches it? If it actually is a goat, that would be really funny! Thank you, this blog always makes me smile.

Bug of the Day

I always feel special when I find an Odonate at night. This damselfly came to a moth sheet back in July. Not sure what it is yet beyond something in the Coenagrionidae family.

Update: It's a sedge sprite!
