Exploring and iNatting the Bridge River Delta Provincial Park

This summer Trevor and I explored some remote provincial parks in British Columbia for a project between BC parks and iNaturalist. The Bridge River Delta Provincial Park was our first iNatting trip, which included blood, sweat, and tears.

Eeeeeee! What a CUTIE! It was so exciting to observe this Desert Banded Gecko, Coleonyx variegatus ssp. variegatus on yesterday's morning walk. What a TREAT! 
Gosh these have to be the FUNKIEST plants in the desert. Or at least in the running for the top spot. I just love these big goofy Ocotillos SO MUCH!
Just another incredible desert-dwelling Angiosperm! This Ratany, believed to be Krameria bicolor, (White Ratany) is truly a stunner! WOWZA! 
Ghost Flower (Mohavea confertiflora) is definitely in the runnings for my favorite desert-dwelling flower I've found so far. Its totally BANANAS that this plant was flourishing in such a gravely dry spot, seemingly blooming out of crusty dust. So neat.
💛Eeeee! What gorgeous little yellow flowers! I've seen the Desert Trumpet (Eriogonum inflatum) in a couple of dry habitats throughout California, but never flowering before! The delicate hairy flowers and lovely exerted stamens are so scrumptiously golden yellowy-green but so teeeeeny tiny!
Oooo baby look at those fluffy ears! So big! So fluffers!
