is a perennially flowing desert stream that sustains a verdant riparian community that includes the brilliant red monkey-flower (Mimulus eastwoodiae,) and it is also home to the shy red-spotted toad (Bufo punctatus.)
These two gems were among the delights that were encountered on a morning hike with two Castle Valley neighbors, Geogal and her hubby JR. A very good time was had by all.
Your pictures turned out great!
