Greetings from Borrego Springs!

A close call
I was almost eaten by a giant grasshopper today!


Well, actually, this was just one of many metal sculptures by Ricardo Breceda that inhabit the Borrego Springs area. You can read more about them here.


It was another windy day in the desert today, and there were very few wildflowers blooming because there hasn't been enough rain this season. So we saw very few live bugs today. Jerry was lucky enough to get a bee in his ear, inside his hoodie! It didn't sting him, but you never saw someone pull off a sweatshirt so fast!

Reluctantly, I have reinstated the word verification for all comments on this blog. I don't like it any more than you do, but the rate of breakthrough spam was even more annoying. Thanks for understanding.
