Fallbrook Los Jilgueros

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.
