I was checking the sprinklers that are set up to run while we're gone and this Costa's swooped right in for a bath. Unfortunately the camera's auto-focus has a mind of its own and focused beyond the bird but those wildly waving wings would have been a blur no matter what.

Now for some of the yellows of spring.
 |
| I don't know what this is |
 |
| Yellow Cups - An evening primrose that blooms in the morning |
 |
| Something in the sunflower family |
 |
| Brittlebush |
 |
| The unknown shrub |
 |
| Creosote |
 |
| Ephedra - Mormon tea |
Not yellow, but the color is luscious. This is a succulent growing in the protected area around the pool. This same succulent was eaten to oblivion in another part of the yard so I am delighted it is thriving in this location.
