Whirlwind Wildflower Weekend, Part 2

Well, I woke at 3 a.m. with a sore throat and chills and couldn't get back to sleep. Aaargh. I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired! Anyway, we got a later start than I would have liked but we got to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve around 10:30 in the morning and had a very pleasant few hours hiking around and looking at and photographing the wildflowers. Porter wasn't in the best of moods but we muddled through.

Porter was not in a mood to walk so I carried him part of the way up to the summit.

Porter entertained finally by the footbridge in the valley.

Alice discovered she has a taste for dirt. Yum.
