I was out at Dreamy Draw both yesterday & today hiking. About 45 minutes each afternoon. Took a few more photos which I will add here and to some future blog entries. It was very windy yesterday, with gusts of wind in the 20-35mph range, less windy today but still pretty breezy at times. Temps were about 80 degrees today, with fair skies. Yesterday was sunnier, but cooler, about 75.
The spring wildflower show is in full bloom at Dreamy Draw and there are quite a number of shutter bugs out there snapping photos of the wildflowers. This is the nicest spring I recall at Dreamy Draw in the years I've been going out there.
The first photo shows how thick some of the flora is out there; 2nd photo is another blooming cactus (for such rugged plants they sure produce some vibrant flowers!); the 3rd photo is of a blooming Ocotillo on a hilltop; and the 4th photo you gotta look kind of close, but in the Palo Verde tree is a Flycatcher species, he's in flight about middle of the photo (he jumped off of his perch right about the time I was snapping the photo) - if you click on the photo it will zoom in and you can spot it much easier. I see these birds out here quite regularly - I'm not sure if they are here year round or not, but I'm pretty sure they winter & nest here.
