Anza-Borrego Desert - more photos

2007.03.09
It's the tire monster! Saw this in Escondido

some random junk

found a little lupine trying to grow in the inside of the junk metal on the left in the above picture.

not sure what kind of plant this is

made me think of antlers

i didn't have room for this flower on the other post.

there were so many flowers!

all of our clothes had patches of yellow pollen everywhere because of this flower! : )

my mom and dad

struggling for life.

blister beetle

beetles in love....guess with all the water/vegitation it's time to procreate!

sorry for the dark picture but I had to take it quickly before the wasp disappeared. I think you can see it a teensy bit better if you look at the full size picture. The (I think) wasp had just killed a catepillar and was dragging it into its little den. Really cool! I always see this on nature shows but it was the first time I saw it in person. Is this when it lays its eggs in the catepillar and then seals up the hole?

i'm not sure if this is a stink beetle or not but i saw another one with its butt in the air so i stayed away from that one

i think we saw mostly these flowers and the sand verbenas.

just liked how the cracked earth looked.

the dark blue line in the middle is the Salton Sea

i liked the rough texture

some pretty pods

really would like to know the name of this flower

sunset driving home

sunset a few mins later. sorry for all the weird spots in the photo but there were a lot of dead bugs on the windshield!

Here are the rest of the photos from the trip.

If you haven't seen the previous post, it is here.
