Easter at Torrey Pines State Preserve


A clear, sunny afternoon at Torrey Pines State Preserve reveals hillsides covered in Sea Dahlias, Correopsis maritima.

The only glimpse of Peter Cottontail all day...
Happy Easter to all. May this Easter find you with good friends and family and in good cheer!

Peter Cottontail

Cottontail Rabbit. These are the most common rabbit species in San Diego. They breed between December and June. In that 6 month timeframe, a mother rabbit can have between 2 and 4 litters of 1-6 young per litter! I guess the old phrase, breeding like rabbits, was well earned. This happy little rabbit was relaxing at the San Diego Botanic Gardens.
