In case you are wondering,
JILGUERO
means Goldfinch (the bird).
I neither saw nor heard any goldfinches...
however please start the video
This pond was a treat!
I was completely surprised when I found the tiny driveway
into the Los Jigueros Preserve and heard frogs everywhere!
I can almost see the pond as I walk along the western edge of the preserve.
I got to the top and turned eastward.
A patch of sunlight came through the brush.
The ground there was dotted with yellow flowers.
There's a stream running - I can hear and see it, but no pond.
There's the water. Sort of.
Again I think I need a ladder!
Or a selfie stick...
Luckily I have a trail guide to save me going astray.
Not shown here are a half-dozen, loud-voiced lady walkers!
I highly recommend this little retreat space.
