This rabbit greeted me at the campground when I arrived and was ok with me taking its photo, as long as I didn't get too close. There were lots of deer around as well although I didn't get many photos of them. This one had a lopsided set of antlers.
But the highlights were the wildflowers.
Even the prickly pear cactus were blooming.
Of course, I was on the lookout for other critters. I found this Northern Leopard Frog in a small dammed pond for cattle. I had the camera within a few inches of it before it got fed up and jumped away. It's nice to see them since, although still relatively common, they are threatened (as are many amphibians) by habitat loss, pollution, and disease.
I think this is some kind of Fritillary butterfly but there are several that are very similar.
There were lots of birds around as well.
