Bright Golden Aster In Dry Grass
I like how you get a splash of colour in a dry and drab background of dead grass. The park labeled this as "Chrysopsis villosa", but apparently that name is now out of date - it's "Heterotheca villosa var. villosa"
Species:
Heterotheca villosa (hairy false goldenaster, hairy goldenaster)

Antelope Brush
This plant and it's crazy deep roots (much deeper than the plant is tall) is the cornerstone of this ecology.

Pools Of Salt
I would love to know why this lake forms round pools. Why not just crust over entirely? This is Spotted lake and it is on private land.

Salt Crust
I figured the surface might be pretty much homogeneous, but there is a lot of surface differences.

Salt Flats With Hills
I'm always amazed by how different things can be, even though they are located so close together.
