San Diego Desert Wildflowers Part 4

The Impossible Fish

Many thousands of years ago pupfish lived in the Borrego Desert along with the camel, sloths, and mammoths. There are very few wild populations left and there is a pool of them at the Park Headquarters in Borrego. These pupfish are very adaptable to their environments and can live in fresh water or salt water, they thrive in ice cold or extreme hot environments, and can survive in oxygen rich or poor water. The Salton Sea in Anza Borrego is one of these little fish's last habitats.

We watched the sun set over the mountains and headed back through Julian on our way to a friends house in EastLake Chula Vista. We were treated with the rise of water from the recent San Diego rains in a much depleted Lake Cuyamaca. We were also treated with a little wildlife as it was starting to get dark. Five deer were in the road ahead of us and as we slowed down to watch them they pranced off into the pine trees. San Diego is a very diverse and great place to live. This same day my daughter was surfing with her friend in Pacific Beach. Deserts, mountains, beaches all in the same day, that's San Diego Living.

San Diego desert wildflowers are a spectacular site to behold. This year in San Diego we had a good amount of rain and the San Diego deserts were no exception. My wife and I went out to Anza Borrego Desert State Park on Sunday March 9th 2008. I had heard from some folks that the desert flowers were starting to bloom and since I hadn't been out to Borrego Springs for quite some time I thought it would be a nice afternoon with my wife. It was.
