Caballo Lake flowers and critters

The cactus are just starting to bloom, there were many buds ready to pop:














Ocotillo in bloom - the blooms are beautiful, and this plant was really greened up:



This has to be the prettiest dump station location I've seen:







This was a large tree with beautiful yellow blossoms:




And bunnies playing in the campsite:

The other rabbit was about 10 feet in front of this little guy - and he was kind of stutter-stepping toward him.  Every time he'd take a fake step, this rabbit would hop straight up in the air, then land for the next hop.  It was pretty funny.


Then they started chasing each other.


And finally just sat around in the shade:


And although I didn't see squirrels down in my previous spot, after Ryan left, I was the only camper in this area, so I moved down the road a little, closer to the regular campsites.  There is a squirrel that comes down here, but he seems happy to just eat the bush overlooking the river. He's so cute:

  6. The "bunny hop" dance is always so funny to watch. Presume it has to do with mating - love is in the air! ;->

  8. Looking down inside the cacti blooms, I really like the different textures and colors, which mix so beautifully with the rest of the blossom. Do you know the name of the purplish flowers? They are quite brilliant colors!
