| no partners | | This land this year in the north part of the Preserve belongs to fiddleneck wildflowers. They're everywhere and knee-high in places. Saw no poppies today but the yellows of brittlebush and creosote bloomed brilliantly on hillsides. Also saw some phacelia, lily and plenty of lupine. It's easy to wander out here. So many unmarked trails, the only clear sign is #100 for the Christiansen. Stayed out past sunset shooting photographs as the sun began to do its daily swan dive over a nearby ridge. Lots of young hikers and bikers. Was hoping to get a decent shot of Pinnacle Peak far to the north, but it would've taken near-perfect lighting to make it worthwhile. |

Wildflowers Observation Moderate Lots of fiddleneck at lower elevations but lupine begins to compete once you start up into the hills. |
