Wildflowers Again....Our Daily Walk

Clover
Starting off with some pretty clover.

Mule's Ears complete plant
Next are some Mule's Ears...this is the biggest clump I have ever seen with them all in bloom. Perfect. (Ignore the camera strap in the corner of the photo.)

Mule's Ears
So much like a sunflower and the bloom is rather large. You can really see the soft looking texture of the leaf which gives this flower its common name.

Mule's Ears with a Bee
I wasn't the only one enjoying the blossom.

Miniature Lupine
Next came the lupine again....so much of it now along the trail: Miniature lupine.


Lupine leaf
Here is its leaf.

California Poppy with bud
Last but not least, the California poppy. You can see one getting ready to open up and the other still in the bud stage with its "hat" on.

I have about four entries worth of photos to upload but I am out of time this evening. Stay tuned....our bird entry is coming up in a day or two as well.
