Natural History Wanderings

A series of photos taken in the Eastern Sierra at Smokey the Bear Flat, along Highway 395 and from Panum Crater.

The insect and plant photos are taken at Smokey the Bear Flat which is a dry, pumice-flat meadow on the east side of Highway 395, just north of the Mammoth Lakes exit. It has some interesting flowers in spite of its dry desolate appearance from highway 395.
