Photos by Ken Clark and Saki, 2005/07/16.

Taking a break along the Potomac River on Billy Goat B (where Saki is pointing on the map).

A particularly large (nearly 8-inch) five-lined skink.

And Saki found this fence lizard. [Saki]

Lunch break at the southern point of Billy Goat A: Gregg, Eliana, Adrienne.

Shrubby St. Johnswort (missing a few petals on this flower).

Mountain mint (the flowers are much smaller than they appear here).

Heading down the intimidating slope is tougher than usual in the heat of the day.

Can anybody identify this flower?

Pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata).

A small red-eared slider in the canal.

Two kayakers heading for Great Falls.
