Labor Day Funsies

Back on Labor Day we headed to Cuyamaca Ranch State Park in the Laguna Mountains, in the hopes of getting away from the heat. It was a very warm August, and September wasn't looking any better (and it wasn't). We went on a little hike, checked out the abandoned Stonewall gold mine, and met up with friends Aarti, Prasant, and their adorable boy Udit, at a restaurant right on the edge of Lake Cuyamaca. We saw lots of birds; wild turkeys, a beautiful bright blue Stellar's Jay, Acorn Woodpeckers, a flock of Canadian Geese, and a few herons. I was hoping for some more flowers but I guess since the weather had been so dry, and it was late in the season, there were very few. I've read that Spring offers an amazing palette of colors, so we will be back to check out the blooms next year.
