Spring Moves Up the Mountain










This is my third day of posting photos from last Saturday's wonderful hike across Table Mountain. The first seven photos here are from that day. Now spring flowers and animals are emerging at higher elevations. I stop by the Greenville Y, elevation around 3,000', twice a week. Last week the only things blooming were dandelions and the tiny Whitlow grass. Today, there was an abundance of newly blooming rock cress, also in the mustard family. Also, the blue belly lizards were out in force which means there must be a food supply crawling around in the crevasses. I saw the leaves of many other kinds of wildflowers that will be blooming in the coming weeks. And it was WARM! Wonderful time of year.
