A ton of fun stuff happening this weekend.  Enjoy and as always, post your pics!

April 15

 There are still a lot of wildflowers out in Anza Borrego, and the cactus and ocotillo are really blooming nicely too. A more long lasting (but certainly not permanent) thing is the geology.  We found some interesting sandstone rock formations on Sunday, as we have on previous trips.

I keep hearing how rare the Desert Five Spot is supposed to be, but there are lots of them in Hawk Canyon this year, just like there was last year.

Seems like we all like to post close ups of the flowers, so here's a wider view shot of the Cactus Garden located north of Kane Springs Road on Harper Canyon Road (well, hardly a road, more like a trail).

End of the day, heading west into the setting sun, on Kane Springs Road.

More shots from this and other recent trips on my blog here, with links to galleries at the end of each post.

I generally like going on the first weekend, as the second weekend it starts to get a bit crowded.   

Who's going and what day?  Shawn and I are flexible.

See you all at the group shoot on Saturday.  Happy shooting.

Our April Group Shoot will be on Saturday, April 10^th at Seaport Village.

We will meet near the main fountain at 9 a.m. for our group photo. Seaport Village will be having their Spring Busker Festival that weekend so there will be lots of interesting people to shoot. The Busker Festival runs from Noon until 5 p.m. and if anyone is interested in making an entire day of it, Buskers After Dark goes from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m.
