Bad Aim…

Lots of friends came, thanks Amy for the picture
Merry Go Round is still a favorite

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

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
