San Diego River Via Mission Trails

I was in the area and had some time to kill so I went for a small excursion along the San Diego River. While I was there I photographed these Flatbud Prickly Poppies. I've only seen these plants grow in three areas in San Diego County so far.

Tar Creek

Mid week backpacking at Tar Creek with my son Danny and my friend Robie. Minimal people. Lots of wildlife. Great weather. This is basically the last chance for water for the season. We swam and cliff jumped a lot. Great time.
