wildflowers (and some cactuses)

From the top of the mountain. It was a very bright and clear day, so the colors were a bit washed out. These pictures are all unaltered.

Mexican Gold Poppies














Purple and yellow: a perfect compliment from nature














Little dasies




























More Mexican Gold Poppies.










































I love these cactuses - the tops look like they are neon and glowing.














Apparently this is a popular recreational event from the top of these mountains. We chatted with some guys who were sitting off the side of the trail with parachutes in packs. Kris asked if they jumped off the side - and this guy explained it as very chill. He said you are turned into the wind, lift the sail until the wind catches it, then turn and take a step and away you go. As peaceful as it sounds, it still seems terrifying.
