Place: Hiking at O'Neill regional park.......

O'Neill regional park, named after Richard O'Neill, an Irish cattleman, in Rancho Santa Margarita, is barely 10 miles from our Mission Viejo place..
On a recent weekend, we hiked there.....

Matilija poppy were in bloom.......golden top and crepe white petals were a sight to behold!

Saw a couple of ground squirrel babies, peeping from their burrow, under an eucalyptus grove......

Rain has created an art on eucalyptus bark.....

Someone has put painted rocks on the trees lining the trail......its a spectacled kitty...

Saw some tree squirrels.......

California buckthorns graced the edges of the cliffs......

Vantage points offered wide view of the Saddleback mountain...



Pine cones were carpeting the ground...

Loved the hike..will do again soon......
