On the Sand Dunes

The dunes at Boundary Bay, with a flying mountain. (Mount Baker)

Gumweed.
That white stuff is like a glue; damp, even in the bright sunlight, and very sticky. The whole plant is sticky with it.

When I took a sample home and kept it in a cup of water, it stayed wet and sticky for days.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
