The Daily Bucket
is a place to note what you are seeing around you: animals, weather, meteorites, climate, soil, plants, waters. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the phenological patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.

[Maybe a knowledgeable Bucketeer can weigh in
on what the following particular desert plants are?]:
ocotillo and 3rd from end might be creosote bush (Larrea tridentata). The top desert cactus is some cholla (Cylindropuntia)
-Besame
(A few more plant id’s):
3rd on up’s definitely creosote.
Not sure if the Cholla is Staghorn or Jumping, but it’s not Teddy Bear Cholla.
Ocotillo skeletons are too cool for their own good, they get stolen for decoration & crafts.

Anza-Borrego desert state park
November 2016
=====================================
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park (ABDSP)
is a state park located within the Colorado Desert of southern California, United States. The park takes its name from 18th century Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza and borrego, the Spanish word for bighorn sheep.[1] With 600,000 acres (240,000 ha) that includes one-fifth of San Diego County, ABDSP is the largest state park in California and, after New York's Adirondack Park, the second largest in the contiguous United States. The park occupies eastern San Diego County and reaches into Imperial and Riversidecounties, enveloping two communities: Borrego Springs (home of the park headquarters) and Shelter Valley.
