Anza Borrego Desert Photos


Just a few pics from a day trip to the Anza Borrego Desert. The Rainfall this year is above average (over 7 inches~ the past 2 seasons have seen only 4 1/2) promising a wonderful wildflower display. Well, we went about a week early... so did not see the valley blanketed with flowers, but there were some patches of brilliant display as well as a preview of what's to come with the early bloom.






Look closely at the photo below. Notice anything? Probably not... look a little closer... a great hiding place for what's inside...


This nest appears to be well protected from potential predators, not to mention the excellent camouflage! I wasn't able to identify what type of bird built this nest~ but from the bird identification book, it appears to be some sort of sparrow.


Seems such a hostile environment to be born into!


Last but not least... 'cause we all need a little love....

Becky - Once again you've found some spectacular Nature to photograph. Every shot is super. I enjoyed the desert trek.
