Wildflowers

Bush Morning Glory (Ipomoea leptophylla). This is in the morning glory family, but does not grow on a vine


Whitemouth dayflower (Commelina erecta) aka Widow's tears, Day flower. One of the coolest flowers I think I've ever seen. I really like the distinctive two blue petals, once white.


Bractless Blazingstar (Mentzelia nuda).


Unknown Sunflower/Aster. Yellow flowers of this type are probably the hardest for me to identify just due to the sheer number of similar looking plants. If you have any ideas let me know

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.
