Went to Anza Borrego desert to see this year’s wildflowers. There weren’t any. But lots of birds and spied a few nests. The Ricardo Breceda metal
sculptures are fantastic. There are local oranges, grapefruit and dates for sale in Borrego Springs as well – fresh and juicy. Nice day.

Great photos. Are the sculptures clay or metal?wilderone - 3-23-2014 at 10:34 AM

Thanks Cindi!skipowell - 3-23-2014 at 01:42 PM
love Borrego Springs. Hiking in the slot canyons are always one of my favorite day trips. Casa Del Zorro (spacing on the new name) has just re
opened and they have amazing rooms if one wants to spurge, I forgot what the new name is but they are back up to the old standardsAteo - 3-23-2014 at 03:43 PM
Love the photos. AB is California's largest State Park, I believe. Great place to explore.Bob H - 3-23-2014 at 05:10 PM
No desert bloom due to lack of rain, or it's just too early to see them?Barry A. - 3-23-2014 at 05:13 PM
--------both lack of rain, and rain not at the right times. This year is not looking good for ABDSP wildflowers, so far. The next 2 weeks or so is
critical, and it is almost too late now.
For the first time in 14 years we don't plan on our normal stay down there------kinda sad..

Get out there the first Sat of April (the 5th) for the liar`s contest!!!
Some great stories and lies!! The most outrageous I ever heard was some guy who got up there and said "I once met a fisherman who told the truth" and
then sat down. It was the biggest lie the judges had ever heard in the history of the contest!! No one has ever topped it, some spending 10 minutes to
spin a bigger yarn!!

Well, at least the Palo Verdes are blooming this year---they got a nice soaking in the August/September thunderstorms----in fact hundreds of seedlings
have sprouted up in the area around my property out there. Guess Borrego didn't get much rain from "Titan" after all.
