It's Yuma

It rained again here in Yuma which is good for flowers but not for gold prospecting.  I took a picture of a flowering brittle bush.  The bees love the flowers and so do I.  The dark mass in the tree is a mistletoe.  We like the pretty berries for a nice Christmas look but they are a parasite that can kill the tree in which they live. 

I have been asked why we still call the blog fishtales since we got rid of the boat.  We plan to do some fishing along trout streams and whenever else we get the chance.  Our main focus will be gold prospecting.  Its called fishing until you catch something then its called catching.  Gold is kind of the same.  Its called gold prospecting until you find the gold then its called mining.  Now that it rained again just as the dirt was getting dry enough to prospect again there goes prospecting for several more weeks.   We have had a cold blast with temps in the low 60's but the wind was very cold coming out of the north.  It should be warming up from here on out!
