More pictures from Saguaro National Park, including the first Gila Monster of the year, and he was a big 'un- maybe 14 inches or so.

Handsome fellow--I like reptiles. And is that a calachortus--the single yellow flower? And blue flax? I've always wanted to see desert spring bloom--never have.

Not a Calochortus. There is a Hibiscus in one picture, amidst a Fairy Duster (Calliandra) bush and also some Mexican Gold Poppies.
This is a great year for flowers! Much better than most.2016 Specialized Ruby Comp disc - Ruby Expert ti 155

Spent last week traveling to a conference and then seeing family. Leaving again on work travel tomorrow night. The woman I work for asked if I wanted to spend today and tomorrow riding in the Los Olivos area and then working on the presentations that we are doing over the next two weeks. It took me a millisecond to smile and say sure! We left today around noon and got here in time for a good hard and fast 3 hour ride on Foxen Canyon road and a couple of hours of work. Tomorrow morning we are going to do a sunrise ride up Figueroa mountain.

Just a wonderful morning ride up Figueroa mountain…..a great way to welcome the day. Didn’t see a car the entire ride.

They're all spectacular pictures, rebeccaC, but I have to say that the last one from the day before is AMAZING.
