Vernal Pond | Daley Ranch

I keep forgetting just how much rain we had in Southern California this past winter. No, not a lot my other people's standards but for us... a lot.

This point was driven home last Sunday when I took my gear with me for a hike through Daley Ranch, a regional park here in northern San Diego County.

As I descended the trail into a small valley I saw something I've never seen in that location in the 10 years I've been hiking this trail. A pond complete with fresh cattails and a new resident population of frogs. Since I knew that it would probably be gone in a few weeks, it was an easy decision to stop ad paint it.
