From Rios Canyon entrance, I first wanted to retake some pictures of the Eriastrum sapphirinum or Sapphire Wooly-star that had come out blurry, upon my last outing. Once that done, I followed Rios Canyon Rd (fire road) to where the seasonal creek meets the road, then headed back up.

Today was the day for Bloomeria croceas or Golden Stars and it was my first time seeing them as well as seeing them at Crestridge.

I am getting more in tune with listening to birds even though they only occasionally let themselves be seen. When they do, I unfortunately don't have the right photo lens to take decent pictures.

It was also my first sighting of Pellaea andromedifolia or Coffee fern.
I got to see some rushes and sedges by the creek too.
