Rat in a Tree!

There are rats in the trees! This poor fellow was about 10-15 ft up in the middle of this tree in the gardens. I'll check up on him later and see if he gathered enough courage to work his way back down.

 Poor rat! :(

The apple blossoms are losing their petals and are preparing to become yummy apples!

With all of the recent rain our cactus are going to have some amazing blooms soon!

Butterflies!

Excited to see these tiny Western Pygmy Blue butterflies flitting about the Springs Preserve!

The Springs Preserve fruit trees and vegetable plants continue to show signs of life with pretty blossoms and the promise of fruit.
