Spring is here


Well, not officially, but spring is definately in bloom. My lawn grew about four inches in less than a week and is already in desparate need of a mowing. With todays high almost 70, its time to get a garden going and plant flowers.
This morning I heard the most unusal chatter and looked up and it was a massive flock of Sandhill Crane (i think). The landed in the wheat field and are just hanging out.

The almond trees are in bloom.





The wheat fields are green and growing.




The cows have new calves.


In the next few weeks I will be photographing and documenting the spring flowers up at the ranch. The vernal pools will be in full glory come April.
