Rondeau Big Day: The Distractions

Of course, I couldn't do my Rondeau big day without stopping to smell the flowers every once in a while (literally). So here is a photodump.

In addition to what is pictured, I also found a few Five-lined Skinks. Always a treat to see, especially since I haven't seen any in a couple years.
