Place: San Joaquin wilderness attractions.........

I had a hike in San Joaquin wildlife sanctuary this afternoon....some stunning critters and plants made the chilly venture worth-it...cottontail rabbit foraging on the sun-bathed lawn, osprey dining on a big fish perched atop a pole, a big spherical mistletoe on a leafless sycamore tree...

I was amused to see a black ibis and a snow white egret foraging in the swamp, by the edge of the reeds. Together the duo looked like yin-yang image..they seemed to be having a conversation....
