Signs of spring

Spring has already begun here in our desert and up in our local mountains.  I see the signs everywhere now.  Maybe later this morning I'll go out for a drive...???

 Pretty lupines blooming up on Highway 74

 Flowering plum tree blooming by the high school in Anza

 More lupines along the highway

 Buds on the sycamore tree up at the ranch

 Pretty view of the wagon and the big arena behind it up at the horse ranch

 One of the raven family that lives up at the ranch.  I always love to watch the young ravens!

 The almond trees up at the ranch are nearly dead, but this one had a few blossoms.  It is probably its last year...sigh...gophers.

 This is Scout, my mustang, kicking up her heels in the arena last weekend.

Flowering tree down at the school complex in Anza.
