The Lizard Tree

"Oh!" Roo said. "It's a carpet of yellow!"

We had just navigated a turn through the hills of Hwy 58, leading us to our Lizard Tree. We've decided this needs to be an annual excursion to view the wildflowers, picnic, and chase lizards and bugs.

And Roo is right; the flowers do indeed form a carpet. I usually try to avoid stepping on flowers, but not here - not possible.



Last year we found an abundance of lizards at this tree, but the speedy things always eluded Buddy's fast grasp. This year was little different, but the challenge was worth the trip. We came home, like last year, with a container of big beetles, a bit too much sun, and good memories.



Back in Los Osos, we hurried to buy and dye eggs. The result? Happy kids and beautiful eggs.




Roo says this should be Great Friday instead of Good Friday. I agree.
