Debra, I am awestruck by every single one of your photos. Just fabulous. How wonderful to have your intimate knowledge of flora and fauna. I just
look out and say, "Pretty", or "Wow!"

Wow!! What a great post. This is the kind of stuff that really makes Nomad's float my boat.

Absolutely gorgeous pictures !
Words alone would not have done it justice . Especially like the view across the Bahia to the tip of Concepcion- I thought i'd seen green, but
nothing like this.
Thanks for sharing from those of us who are missing it.

Thanks to all you nomads for the generous comments about my photos. It was very difficult to decide which photos to show from the approx. 1000 photos
from the trip. Hard to keep the finger off the shutter release (in multi-photo mode), and I just kept saying "wow, wow..." at all the wonderful
greenery as I shot away!
I'm glad that there is appreciation for the plant identification. I've been seriously studying/researching BCS plants since after Hurricane Julieta
in 2001 and I am always happy to share my growing knowledge of Baja's plants.
If I have time before we return to BC, I'll look for others to post.

Hola Mulegena:
Still working diligently on my BCS plant guide book. This trip allowed me to get a few more plant photos that I was lacking as well as to do a bit
more specimen collecting in the area.
I do currently have a photo CD of 89 Mulege area plants (many also found throughout BC) that I am selling. Anyone interested can U2U me about it.

OK, so I did find a few more photos and have created a new page, a mixture of stuff.
Also, if you want more of plant names in Spanish or have friends who only read Spanish, all these pages now have a Spanish version. I also had to
make a few corrections and fix a few missing links.

Hold on to your hats. I've created a new page of photos showing the difference in a number of areas from around El Volcan las Tres Virgenes to Mulege
between our first trip in Sep-Oct and now (Nov-Dec). Enjoy!

Debra
P.S. I'm copying my Sep-Oct photos to my mp3 player so I can take it with me into the field in order to better duplicate more photos as we continue
scoping out the countryside. This is really fun, and enlightening.
