Point Reyes. "Reyes" in Spanish means "Crazy windy," right?

(Wrote this in May... finally posted...)

Lots of wildflowers blooming at Point Reyes.

I didn't managed to photograph many of them though, because they were waving around all crazy in the wind! (Wind not pictured; effects can be estimated by the angle of the tree.)

But this little sedum was a sturdy fellow:

Supposedly, lots of migrating birds are around too. The day I went there, though, the only birds I saw were migrating backwards--blown by the 100 mph winds.

Actually, the white-crowned sparrows were huddled in the bushes, and the ravens managed to use the wind to hover close to the hillside.


Though mostly they were just lurking on the ground.
