Had a little rain today, which helped settle the dust and made for some excellent light for photography.





This is one of the two chalochortus species I've seen up here. A very curious flower - here's another view:



Sorry, I can't resist the raindrops on petals thing.

Yet another species is known locally as a fairy-lantern:



It's a very diverse genus, sorry I don't know the species names for these.

With just enough rain to get things damp, the moss is unrolling, saying "enh, I don't think so", and going right back into hibernation.



The buckeye is also blooming, which is a short but striking event:



New woodpecker granary. Actual woodpecker photos will have to wait until I find my telephoto lens again.



PUPPY!!!



More puppy:



An area were I cleared, built a small rock wall, and set up a surplus bench Bill had found:

Beautiful pics.

It looks like a great place to escape to.

The fireplace looks lonely without the usual suspects standing around it.

Nice photos! The light is special. And the environment with the bench is seductive.

As always, your pictures are beautiful.
The light there is astounding. So magical and elusive.
Wonderful work on the wall and bench-- just the right amount of intrusion on the rawness.

I meant to mention that the new rock wall and bench looked very nice.

You have a great variety of plant and animal life on your place. Nice to photos of it.
