April 16, 2020, Resting Springs Mountains, Shoshone, California

80 and sunny, with a bit of wind. We hiked up the east side of the Resting Springs Range to the ridge.

There were cool clouds and it was soooooo green for the desert. Heading up a green wash with barrel cactus. Toni, Jim and Judy D. 

Green grass, plants and flowers. These flower photos were pretty over exposed, I did what I could with the. Filigree, plants growing in a pattern, eriogonum stem, cotton top cactus, showy gilia, purple mat and desert gems, 5 spot with multiple buds.  

Roberto and Judy D hiking up. Judy D on the ridge. 

Looking back down canyon where we came up. Lunch on the ridge. John, Judy D, Jim, Roger and Roberto.  

Toni looking over the other steep side down. Colorful hills.

Cool clouds. Ruud and Torian came over to visit us again tonight. They were posing 'looking cute' they said.
