It's one of the lesser known parks in Orange County, tucked up in the hills by Coto de Caza.

If you're looking for fields of wildflowers, this is not the place. I did find some new ones that I still haven't identified though...



My friend Sophia identified this one for us, it's chamomile.

The good news is the "dry pond" on the map is not dry yet.

In fact, it's teeming with more life than you'd ever imagine!

Here's a short video I put together with all the clips I took. So interesting!
Can you figure out what those little beetles are? They're not whirlygigs, those are greyish silver. There had to be a billion of them there.
Heading home as the sun begins to set, the landscape takes on a glow that my camera just never can capture just right... it's enough to make you want to stop time and children and everything else and take out a fresh canvas, a comfy chair, some paint.... a nice hot latte, to see if you could do any better.

Wish I could...

capture that sky... I'd love to hang it in my room!
