Imperial Wildlife Refuge

We went for a drive today to look at wild flowers, ended up going to this wild life refuge.

Yuma area had more rain than usual this winter, so the desert is blooming this spring. Flowers just spring up among the rocks along the roads, it is beautiful to drive anywhere.



This is the landscaping by the visitors center.

" Digger" is a desert tortoise.

Seal Pup

Vicky, a neighbor here in Yuma, sent me these pics of the first rescued pup of the season. She volunteers for seal rescue in Oregon.
