You can see the Shrubby Cinquefoil in the foreground of this shot of William's Lake.

California Corn Lily, aka False Hellebore. These were growing next to the lake. I'm in the shot to show how tall they grow.


These Mountain Bluebells threw me at first because of the pink color. They were all over the place. I found out when I came back that the pink color is quite common when the plant is immature.

Other flowers seen on this hike: Colorado Columbines and Elephant's head.

Short-horned Lizard.  The kids saw and caught this horned toad.  It was so small! Red-naped Sapsucker.  First time I had seen this bird.  It's a male.  On the female the red doesn't cover the entire neck. House Wren.  Have seen lots of there, but this is probably my best pic.

Cacti and Yucca Soapweed Yucca ( Yucca glauca ) . The branches at the top of the stem is very rare to find, usually it is just a strait stem with a cluster of pods. Tree Cholla ( Opuntia imbricata ) . More tree cholla, I included this shot for the very cool spider web attached.
