Toad strangler? Never heard that term before but I like it :)  

I stole that from my geology professor.  Great sayings like that need to have a life.

Growing up in North Carolina, we used "Frog Choker" for the same natural phenomenon.

Both are easier to spell than fenomuhnum.  :)

I’ve heard it before, and describing the same phenomenon.  I don’t remember from whom(s).  My Grandfather used to describe those events with the phrase, “Don’t look up, you’ll drown”, or “That’s a gully washer”.

Nice to see them.Ours are already gone for another season.

That's OK they are replaced with other beautiful wildflowers.

Today’s nice morning brought us a white tail doe with her tiny fawn out in the sagebrush, and a few mountain goats at about the 7,000’ level on Maxwell Peak.  Nice to see.
