Went poking around the boulders off the 8 freeway the last couple of weekends with Tom and there are still some nice blooms on the cactus.




Saw a nice 5' Gopher(?) snake laying in the road on the way home

Tom found some old mining debris and 2 large pits. One had some of the rocks piled up to form a couple of walls

Some old honeycomb

That's it...I think we picked up 3-4 mylar balloons.

Surprised the gopher snake let you get that close. I like the honeycomb shot too.

Nice snake, really sharp pics. Which camera? That's a massive amount of honeycombs.

Any one seeing live hives out there anymore? Have found several abandoned ones filled with honey but no bees in the last couple years. Just me?

This is the camera (not my actual camera, from the web)
