A bellflower.

Possibly nettle leaved bellflower.

Duh on my part. But, it sure is a handsome fly.

Looks like a maidenhair fern.

A fly... It has some characteristics of deerflies, but lacks defining ones in structures such as antennae and mouthparts...

There are thousands of kinds of flies...

Vancouver is getting about three days of rain, which is great for the forests, although it's pretty mild to what you guys are seeing.
Here's to being flexible 😁

Ha ha. Yes. The weather forecast looking ahead looks quite interesting. Hopefully we're able to dodge most of it.

It sure is, sadly.

Wow again, too much, too fast.

Wow! Very scary, our world is changing.

Hey Dave. The 18%ers were thankfully shor. The destruction and downed trees were something , alright. Glad we weren't riding through here when it happened.

So true, An out and back would have been better..

Hey Scott. The cloud cover really rolled in. I hadn't noticed the sky when I took the photo, but you're right. It does add some nice texture to the shot.

Those mountains are so amazing, and really great against that sky.

I’m sorry I didn’t say something about the ride through Radovna. I thought about it. It’s such a great road, and this would really be better as an out and back.

Looks like a great day ride, except for the 18% bit! Glad you missed the rain and the falling trees!
