Cool photos Torrey,
The flowers are really blooming, saw a ton on a hike on San Jac today, plus the clouds are wild!

Great pics, especially of the clouds. I noticed last year that when those yellow flowers bloomed, the bees were out in force. I've never seen/heard so many bees. I even got stung twice.

Er, did you see any snakes?

just some lil baby gopher snakes. the red diamonds dont come out til its a little bit warmer. i dont worry bout em too much, the red diamonds are the fat lazy rattlers, i walked past em all the time last spring. you gotta really do something annoying to them to get em to bite you. ha. there are some mean ass speckleds in the area sometimes though, but they're safe for the opposite reason, they are so pissy n paranoid that theyll rattle super loud b4 youre even close to em. just dont stick yer hands in rock crevasses before looking n you should be safe :D

and i dont think western/pacific diamonds live down here in the desert, ive only seen them up above idyllwild.
