Ocotilla bloom
Snow on the mountians around us
Great Horned OwlWe went on a hike this morning and spotted a great horned owl in one of the plam trees. It was the first time we had seen an owl here. I have had a few people come in the center and tell me about where they had seen an owl, so we went looking for it. Along the trail to the grove where we saw the owl is the lone ocotilla plant. We think it was planted here years ago as it is not natural to the preserve. It had one bloom on it.
It rained all day yesterday, very different from the norm. The rain should wake up the desert and bring out more flowers. The big flower time here is not until February . The weather is cooler now, 40's at night, low 70's during the day. The mountians were covered with snow when we got up. Most of it was gone this evening.
Till next time

Doesn't look very Christmas-like. Except for that distant snow.
You need to visit for some of this 30 degree - cozy up to a fire weather.

Great picture of the Owl. I wish I could pet it! LOL!!
Also, wish I was in CA enjoying the warm weather and not this freezing weather here in Texas!
