May Days

We have had a seasonally cool May here in Las Vegas and it has been most wonderful. My walks are filled with cool breezes and an abundance of flowering plants in the gardens. I hope to get another lens soon so that I can take more advantage of the birds and wildlife here at Springs Preserve.

Spots of Color

Little spots of color popping up and dotting the usual brown of the Springs Preserve's winter landscape. It feels good.
