Opuntia basilaris – Found along Calico Hills Trail 1
Calico Hills
| At the beginning of May, I headed to Las Vegas and visited the scenic drive through Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area. While the area covers a portion of the Mojave desert (which is also covered by Joshua Tree National Park), I only visited a small, but beautiful portion of the land area, including the calico hills. |  |

Spring ephemeral ponds at Breakneck Creek
Christine, an undergraduate Biology student, set out to collect invertebrates in ephemeral ponds of varying longevities at Breakneck Creek, Kent. Here are some photos of her sites. The yellow/greenish dusting over the water is pollen from surrounding trees: apparently pollen was heavy in North Eastern Ohio, just as it was record breaking in Atlanta this Spring.
