Jepson Prairie Preserve
A great blue heron flying over Jepson Prairie in the wintertime.
The vernal pools fill during the rainy season.
In springtime the pools recede and a variety of flowers begin to bloom.
An American avocet wades in a pool..
Cupped downingia.
A tiny Pacific tree frog sitting by some Delta woolly marbles.
A spring carpet of Fremont's goldfields.
Blow wives.
White hyacinth.
As the vernal pools evaporate, a variety of plants sprout up.
And they eventually dry out.
A place to enjoy the Jepson Prairie vistas.
