Thought I would share a spring vs. summer picture of a tree and hillside at Mt. Diablo Park. Also a picture of a terrified little Sceloporus occidentalis I caught "Western Fence Lizard" or "Blue-Belly."
Here is the beautiful hillside along the "frog pond" trail coming from the curry point trail-head. This is a picture taken during springtime, all of the hills were lush and covered in California Poppies and other flowers.
This is the same shot, but during our 2011 summer this year. All the flowers are gone! Awwww.
This is the startled fence lizard I caught basking on the side of an oak tree. So nice of him to pose for a quick photo shoot!
Mt. Diablo is a wonderful place to hike and camp, plenty of diverse wildlife too! Be careful of rattlesnakes though, I don't see them too often but they're hiding in plain sight all over the trails!
