In Between Rain Storms

Wildflower Bouquet

We braved a few raindrops and took to the walking trail this afternoon. The weather held out so we could enjoy the abundance of wildflowers.

Scotch Broom
Although this is an invasive plant in our area, it is just amazing right now. This Scotch broom or Common broom is bursting with color.

Scotch Broom Close-Up
Just look at that color in this close-up. Does it look like a "noxious weed" to you? I know that it disturbs the ecosystem but it very pretty to look at...sigh.

Queen Anne's Lace 5 26 10
And here is the first of the season....usually a long season in our area. Our Queen Anne's Lace is in its usual spot right on the side of a particular spot on the trail.

As I type this there is a downpour of rain right outside my window. I am really glad we were able to take a walk in between rain storms.
