Brown Eyed Evening Primrose

One of the things I will miss about California is the desert.
It is odd that in such a brutal and harsh place once a year, for a period of about two weeks, it explodes with color and scents.
First comes the wild flowers and over the next month the cactus will come into full bloom. This was by far the best flower season I have seen in 15 years. Those living around L.A.; don't miss out!
This little black wasp dragged the worm, three times its size, thrashing and fighting to its hole to be devoured alive. Awesome show.

Juicy and plump, this bugger is likely lunch for a lizard by now. About four inches long.
