Spring!

We have two friends from Mexico visiting and tonight after dinner took them to the Vernal Pools across from where we live.

It is hard to beat the show of color and wildlife that this area offers - most often a bit earlier in the year.   If we get enough rain- it collects and stays in the hard pan soil and then as it evaporates - ranges of wild flowers appear.  That brings brine shrimp and some tadpoles which a lot of birds find interesting and tasty.
