If I hadn't seen the two undergrads casting on the opposite bank, I'd not have walked around; and if I hadn't walked around, I'd not have seen their path through the tall grasses and weeds; and if I hadn't seen their path, I'd not have been brave enough to get close.
To them I owe my thanks, and to this Slaty Skimmer for returning again and again to cardinal flowers very nearly in reach.
(I just hope I don't wake in the middle of the night to chigger bumps.)
