The Long Trail


 When I was at the garden that early morning, I took a hike on the long trail that leads past all the displays of how native peoples lived in the desert many, many years ago. I posted photos of those displays here. When I got to the little pond, I noticed they had cut down all the tall cattails that were growing around the pond.  Now I could actually see the water.

These yerba mansa plants all around the pond were blooming and looking very pretty.

Also while I was on that trial, I took another photo of the "hole-in-the-rock" formation.  You might remember that I posted a photo of this mountain in silhouette last month.  In this photo you can see that  hole very clearly.

You have nice surroundings there with Rocks. We only have flat countries here.

I like the yerba mansa plants. I bet the redwing blackbirds love that pond with the reeds.

A beautiful pond, supporting so much life. I think I see two holes in the rock!
