After one week resigned to "backyard nature study" and the same on the schedule for this week also thanks to our babymoon, I'm thinking back to some of our nature study adventures over the past two months.
Ever wondered what California looks like in May and June?  Here ya go!  Four different landscapes, each visited multiple times, with pictures telling the story...
At the 
creek --
At the 
ranch (well, two different ranches-turned-county-parks, one on each side of the foothills) --
  | 
| farewell-to-spring clarkia + yarrow | 
  | 
| dove mullein + a tiny scarlet pimpernel | 
At the 
pond --
  | 
| owl's clover | 
  | 
| mariposa lily | 
  | 
| blow-wives | 
At the 
beach --
  | 
above: thrift + red clover 
beach aster | 
  | 
| lizard tail | 
  | 
| sand verbena | 
  | 
above: sea rocket + tree lupine coastal sagebrush | 
  | 
| beach primrose |
