We spent the morning with an entomologist in Andreas Canyon searching for bugs - not much luck since the weather has changed and the clouds threatened rain. The bugs got the weather report long before we did and had disappeared but we still learned lots from a senior research scientist of UCR. He did his best with his net and special tube and we did see one lone butterfly - a Queen, relative of the monarch. The wind came up now and then and a few drops of rain fell on us but a full-on rain storm waited until we got home before dumping on us. It is really cool now - 15 degrees cooler than normal but the good news is that the desert will probably bloom before we leave! 
Rain is good.
ReplyDeleteI'll send lots of pics when the flowers come...
DeleteI need to stay out of the shoe stores in Palm Springs/Desert...I'd see such interesting things!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your musings immensely!
I honestly thought of you as I took pics of little spider holes - just knew you would have given anything to be here.
