Mom and dad came down for a weekend visit to see the new house and view the wildflowers. One nice thing about the exceptionally rainy winter that we just experienced is that wildflowers are flourishing. We went for a very nice hike and saw some fantastic specimens. We also saw some great birds, lizards, a snake and rabbits. Here mom is inspecting some green parrots that buzzed us in the canyon.
