Garland Ranch waterfall
April 8, 2006

This is the most water I have ever seen here thanks to lots of rain this spring.

California poppy
Eschscholzia californica
Papaveraceae

Much to my disappointment, this was one of the few flowers blooming at Garland Ranch on our wedding day. The heavy rain for weeks before delayed most blooms this year.

This is likely a western fence lizard that we spotted on our wedding tree. What fun!

Spring is the best time in my opinion for hiking at Garland Ranch. Everything is so lush and green... at least by CA standards.
