This morning I went for a hike in the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. The tide was very low, which completely changed the atmosphere and the type of birds present - - it was almost exclusively populated by shoreline birds - Dowitchers, Egrets, Sandpipers and Stilts. Here are a few of my photos of some birds, 
wildflowers 
and beasties . . . .

Aww, that bunny is adorable. What a gorgeous day we're having! (of course, I'm working, but at least my window is open)
Does Hanna go with you?
la - isn't it? I almost want to get a bunny . . . (ok, I know that is a horrible idea)
edit - I haven't brought her with me yet - - they have all these no dogs signs, but pretty much everyone but me ignores that and brings their dogs - at least on the man made raised walk paths. I intend to bring her, but stay away from the paths going through the brush (like where the bunny was) and just walk or run on the other paths - - but any time I've taken a photo of something in nature you can pretty much assume Hanna was not in tow
what a cute wabbit!

now was that a close up of a lizard or a distant shot of some kind of California alligator? Sounds like you had a nice time.
sage - I have a soft spot for lizards - growing up we almost always had one that my brother had caught in some field, and they were always named Ralph. Having lizards meant we also almost always had meal worms in the fridge to feed them (you have to keep them in the fridge to keep them from turning into bugs!)
Wonderful creatures and flowers, too..I have lots of Lizards in my garden and I just love them, don't you? Very Very wonderful pictures!
And Michele thinks so, too! (lol)
What gorgeous pictures. It makes me feel like summer is right around the corner!
I'm glad you got to enjoy such a lovely morning.

It sounds like you had a nice relaxing weekend
Nature walks are fun. And lizards are cool.
I love the ladybugs. Once I was walking in Muir woods during ladybug mating season and I saw millions of them going at it.
Diane - Who is this Michelle every keeps being sent to you by?
That rabbit looks like my friend's bunny. Except her's is about 10lbs heavier!

Nice pictures. I have a soft spot for lizards too. I set up a natural environment in a large tank... unfortunately, it's working out a little too good and the crickets have overpopulated it and ate everything, including my lizards, frogs, toads etc.
