Goose and West-African Crowned Crane

Posted
GooseWest-African Crowned CraneWhat do a goose and West-African crowned crane have in common? Other than that they both are birds and can be seen at San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal park, not a lot. Well, I guess they also have in common that they can be seen in my Animals of San Diego Zoo collection. So far the collection is birds other than Mr. Meerkat, but I do have some other animals of the non-feathered variety in my collection that may yet see the light of day, but the birds that I photographed that day sure do fascinate me more than anything else it seems.

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers

Posted
Anza Borrego Desert State Park California Wildflowers This cluster of wildflowers is typical of the flowers in Plum Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert this spring. Because of the dry and harsh environment, most of the flowers are tiny like the three in this photo. But what they lack in size, they make up for in color. It's pretty difficult to try and identify all these flowers, but I'm pretty sure the white one is Desert Pincushion. Help out if you can. I've been using the CalFlora.org website to try and identify the flowers in this series.
