Sarah and I joined a large crowd of about 30 people for the ranger-led hike whose official description is below. Unofficially it was a time for me to be in seventh heaven shooting photos of flowers and the insects that eat or pollinate them. Some photographic illustrations of Walker Lake and its miniature wildlife are found below. My best shots from this hike—particularly macro shots of insects— are found on my Smugmug page, wilcephotos.com.
Stephen Bruno is a fantastic photographer. You might want to check out his blog. An outdoor photography blog with tons of advice, much of it technical, is found here.
