Borrego Badlands

As soon as we started the descent into Borrego Springs we were greeted with wildflowers.  
It isn't a "superbloom" this year, but I think any bloom is super.  

Even more super... bighorn sheep! 
I mean, wildflowers are great, but it takes no skills to find them. 
Bighorn sheep do not want to be seen.

We were fortunate that it is not a superbloom because there were not a lot of people around.  
We really just wanted to get outside, with lots of feet of separation, while we still can.  
We definitely found what we were looking for in the Borrego Badlands.


This baby needs to explore! 





Today was the day that Eric showed A1 how to throw rocks into gullies. 
Gravity is hilarious!



The Borrego Badlands is an area 20 miles wide by 15 miles long, very close to the Salton Sea.  
Millions of years ago this area used to be under the sea.  
The desert hills have managed to sustain that underwater feel.

The highlight of the day was this picture, when A1 found a big, bright red lady bug.
We cannot wait to return to Anza Borrego Desert.
So loving where we live.

  1. Thank you so much for this. WE'RE GOING! It was nice to know that you can get away from it all, so very close to home. I love the flowers, the big views and the surprise finds. WOW. So dang awesome. I have a THING for ladybugs. I hope I'm as lucky as Miss A to find some. Way excited. Thanks Brady.
