White Sands (?) @ Salton Sea State Recreation Area Shoreline
From afar, the Salton Sea looks very inviting: white sand, blue skies, diverse species of resident and migratory birds, wildflowers swaying beautifully,

and sparkling blue sea that is bordered by desert mountains. It looks like a piece of heaven. A refuge for wildlife.

Purple Field of Dreams
Butterfly Happily Hopping from One CA Sea Lavender to Another, Torrey Pines- Del Mar Trail
Hopping Happily, happily hoping..... were the first words that came to my mind as we were greeted by butterflies fluttering happily in the sea breeze. These words, "hopping happily, happily hopping" are happy words that I heard first from my fellow TSS (The Salitype Society) sister, Zen of The Letters in November as she compares the beautiful and inspiring story of a resilient grasshopper to our resilience in surviving the woes and strife of life.
Torrey Pines-Del Mar Trail
The day prior to this, I had shared in my post about how the butterfly was kind enough to wait for me to allow me to take a picture using my cellphone since I forgot to bring a charged battery for my camera.
