Once again I have been scooped by the much more rapid and thorough news service of
rfrench. An entry of his with pictures.
A conversation in the cockpit:
me: I can't see him.
Rob: See the patch of green there?
me: I do not see anything even remotely green.
Rob: Okay, that rough stuff that looks like vegetation, over that way.
me: (pointing to TCAS) I mean I don't see this airplane that is about to hit us.
airplane: Traffic. Traffic.
There were a couple other kinds of flowers out, but mostly it was the yellow spindly one in Rob's picture. You can see the faint shadings of wildflower color from the air if you know exactly what to look for and are also good at imagining.
I didn't use oxygen on the way back, and I found out that it is possible to get winded and dizzy from putting on my coat. (14,500'. I am such a sea-level oxygen junkie.)
