The meadow is green but there aren't very many flowers. There were these beauties in the middle, though!



(Note: the ones of San Roque and San Antonio Creeks do not look like the location in the previous pictures. I may have blown it! So much for scientific inquiry!)

I love streams and the sound of running water. Thanks for sharing. I'll look more closely at the scientific part later. Enjoy spring break!
