Day Trip

After church on Sunday, Erik took me to Rosamond to visit the Feline Conservation Center (http://www.cathouse-fcc.org/index.html)! It was a HOT day, but the trip was fun. Some of the cats were hiding, but we saw quite a few and heard some interesting information. They have an evening event in September when they do some activities--we may go back for it! We also enjoyed the peacocks wandering about on the grounds.The drive was an interesting one; you go through several types of landscapes as you go up into the mountains and back down. Mom, do you recognize some of this from our arrival in Bakersfield?

Joshua trees:Windmills (this doesn't give you any idea of how MANY there were up there):As you come out of these mountains, the valley (floodplain) that Bakersfield is opens up before you... huge green fields. I couldn't get a good picture of that though--wrong side of the car!Random pet pic... they were done eating and then the cat discovered I hadn't put the food up yet. He thought he'd sample the dog's food! Which, of course, brought the dog running.
