More Flowers
We found these in the desert near our dump---they are so very different from the ones in our dunes and they are just a few miles inland. Just love
the flowers this year
Mesquite Oasis
The flowers
Close up of this delicate beauty with a shadow of a suspicious looking leaf. 
Searching the Arroyo
Bouquet found in the arroyo
Nature hiding the worm---do you see it??
The tissue paper flower
The end of the cycle
The cotton looking flowers
Looking outside the arroyo
The delicate fringe daisy
The tiny survivors
So small growing out of the gravel
And there were more! Many cannot be seen from the road---one has to wander around.
Diane and John

fabulous flower tour, gracias...my favorites are the fairy duster and the cottony looking one! I wonder if our allegies will start acting up when they
all start blowing their pollen around?

Beautiful gorgeous wonderful flores, Diane.... thank you so very much.
And shari.... if you're not sneezy now, you're safe. Those pollens have been all around you for some time now. Have your nose say thank you to the
Pacific breeze.

Nice array of flower photos! I see the worm... looks like a stem, sorta.... thanks for posting these. Lots of flowers are appearing everywhere here
in San Diego! The hillsides are all turning so green! Today you could clearly see the Palomar Mountain range from the Miramar area, traveling
Northbound on the 163.

Beautiful flowers--the one at the top is a new one to me--some kind of poppy?

Diane - Looks like you, hubby and dogs are in a little bit of heaven right now.
San Diego is Ireland. Freeway wildflowers just starting to pop. Can't wait for Anza-Borrego explosion in a couple of weeks.
Life is good. Thanks for the photos.

Nature is absolutely amazing. You took some nice photos.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Great photos, Thanks.

It looks like a type of poppy---don't know what kind. They were just thick around the Mesquite trees. We know that the soil around there is very
good and different---it is what everyone in town uses in their gardens.

DavidT---you would have to come to the house to find the bottle.
Thanks for the nice comments. As a side note, at the Antelope preserve they were marking off an area to study because with the heavy rains this year
they expected to see some plants that have not appeared for many, many years.
