Looking down at Tiltill Valley (and the seaonal pond on the south side of the field). I had topped out around 6200 feet.

Back down to the log crossing of Tiltill Creek. (And much darker now that the cloud cover rolled in)

I was a bit wary about heading out into a soggy field during a thunderstorm but I didn't have a whole lot of options (and I never did see any lightening from the storm)

The first storm only lasted about an hour and the sun poked back out for a bit. Not sure if it was the sun or the rain, but something woke up the lupine.

This bush was able to capture droplets of water in its leaves. (This was mildly interesting and mildly soaking to walk through)

The break in the clouds lasted an hour before a second storm rolled in and brought light rain for the remainder of the outing.
