Bad Aim…
The dropzone… for kids
Lots of friends came, thanks Amy for the picture
Merry Go Round is still a favorite
Year: 2010
Still lots of poppies
The Long Nosed Leopard Lizard was huge… we saw quite a few of that kind, but very shy, so we could not get a good photo
A wasp I think
Thistledown
Indian Paintbrush
California Newt
Can you spot the newt here?
“Farewell to Spring” – Clarkia Amoena is my favorite flower. Yes, I took a lot of it’s pictures (that’s about 15% posted here)
The most abundant flower at this season – yellow star thistel
An orchid
I regret that I didn’t photograph Yerba Buena, an herb really abundant on Black Mountain. We only recently learned to identify it but made some delicious tea.

Hiking Out
Ana and Sophia are Leilani’s new friends
Clarkia Anemona – “Farewell to Spring” is one of my favorite flowers. Even more of them on this post
