Our hike in Wildwood Park clearly showed the importance of water in this part of California. The area around the falls was quite lush:
In fact, most of the area surrounding the stream was quite lush, at least where there was soil enough for vegetation to grow:.
However, the cliffs lining the stream were quite different. Even though they held their own beauty,
it was a harsh, desert-like beauty.
OW! That’s MY kind of place – all except for the cactus. I love your photos of it, though. I’d love to wade in that stream.
great photos, loren. kjm
Am continuing to enjoy your photos from California.

Are you sure that Inca tern is real, Loren – it looks stuffed to me! Lovely photos as usual – glad you had a lovely time. I hope Raph on Raph’s ramblings has seen that giraffe!
