The Manzana river was still pretty full. You can sort of see that it is green. It was full of algae.

Lots of flowers covered the hillsides.

Our lunch spot included this nice swimming spot on the creek.

Relaxation was also happening.

Still more swimming.

Flowers lined the trail.
Image
These are "Fairwell to Spring".
Image
Some Fairwell to Spring are solid-colored pink and white, like these.

Others were speckeled.

I like the way these look like both caterpillars and fiddle necks. This is a Caterpillar Phacelia.
Image
These are Delphinium.
Image
This is Elegant Clarkia. The Fairwell to Spring are also a type of Clarkia. We saw several Clarkia species.

Flower-covered hillsides along the trail.

Chinese Houses.

Thanks for putting up with all my flower pictures. I love flowers. I love the color and they way they are like faces looking to the sun. They really make me happy.
