On Friday April 11th, we took another drive to check out the wildflowers. This time we drove the loop by taking Happy Canyon Road up to Cachuma Saddle and then Figueroa Mountain Road across and coming out at Los Olivos.
As we started up the mountain, we spotted this ground squirrel keeping a lookout.
We found this combination of California Poppies, cacti and rocks unusual.
