In this picture, the buckwheat is turning deep rust color and the California fuchsia, barely visible in the center-right half of the image, is still in bloom.
Hummingbirds flit around the willow tree near the central information kiosk. They were enjoying the red tubular flowers of the California fuchia.
Baby lizards scamper around the mulched central part of the park. There are plenty of insects to feed them.

The tree of heaven continues to be the biggest threat to the park. In August when I walked around the park with Jesse Barajas, city arborist, and TruGreen we discussed removal of these invasive weeds. If they are not dealt with the park will quickly revert to its earlier, degraded condition.

i really like the hummingbird picture. you should post that really good one of the lizard in the compost heap.
also- i don't use the photo uploader provided by blogger, because it uploads the images in pretty poor quality (if you hadn't noticed). i use the image URL from my Flickr, and i'm sure you could do the same with your picasa account too. just a little FYI. anyways, i hope you post a lot so i can keep up with it all!! i'm trying to post every wednesday and sunday!
