    Flowers in Monterrey

    June 1, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F

    The brilliantly-colored, huge, and exotic-looking flowers are a good ending to this trip. Plants and flowers seem to be on steroids here! As we strolled around Old Town today, I clicked a few pics of some amazing flowers. The last one was not taken in Monterrey, but in the arid Northern part of Yosemite. There were lots of butterflies in that area, and one is in that pic.Read more

    Martha SleutelAgree! It is easy to underestimate California. But when you see it, wow! Especially the coast. While the rest of the US bakes in summer, the coast stays a constant 55-65 degrees. Paradise!

    Martha SleutelThat would be GREAT! I used that Merlin app a lot on this trip to ID birds by sound. It is so useful!
