Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary, Humboldt County, California, July 1st, 2023.
The highlights of todays stroll through the Arcata Marsh were cormorants and new wildflowers 😁
These gorgeous purple flowers caught my attention as soon as I got on the trail 😍
These were not present two weeks ago! The middle photo above might join the Flowers Collection on my website, I love that color!
The vegetation around the various ponds continues to shine with vibrant vitality 😊
Beautiful wildflowers 🤩
I sat on a bench along Klopp lake, and this cormorant popped up nearby during their fishing expedition ☺️ I love the bight blue eyes and striking orange beak.

This beautiful caterpillar was inching across the path
Two striking red blooms rising from a head-high sea of wildflowers 😲
We can tell summer is in full swing, because some of the ground cover is already starting to turn brown…
More new wildflowers making their appearance this year
Bonus shot! The nearly full moon rising next to the Eureka water tower, taken that evening.
