Something less slimy…
Cattle egret reflecting on egret things.
Bolsa Chica…come for the majestic wildlife…
Stay for the horrible 15 lb. slugs.
Bolsa Chica in July…
Beautiful at any time of the year!
A bold cattle egret. You try to squeeze by him and he just stands there and screeches at you.
Egrets at lunch.
Sunbathers.
Curlew.
Great heron.
Back at Bolsa Chica…
It was a beautiful spring day.
Clear and breezy.
If you turn your back to the homes looming immediately behind you, you can almost forget that you’re in the midst of suburbia.
On Brightwater Trail…
A nice cool day on the trail…
There were lots of flowers, even though the superbloom is fading…
Even the humble little blooms at the side of the path are beautiful…
The cactus flowers were just about ready to go off…
A golden poppy…
So I have these binoculars that are supposed to be able to attach to your camera so you can really get good zoom shots. This is the best picture I was able to get, lol!
Bolsa Chica Wetlands…
Just in time for a bit of a superbloom…
Urban Wildlife!

This guy, taking his sweet time…
Mr. Crook, our resident #1 Western fence lizard. You can tell it’s him because of the kink in his tail, the fact that he’s big for his species, and the direct, sassy eye contact he gives you. My day is made when I see this guy.
Playing with panoramas…
It’s…weird. Perhaps standing in the middle of a bridge was not the way to go. It looks Seussian…
Lesser scaup action at the wetlands…
Good looking duck…
…swims underwater like a BOSS!
