164/366: Fairyland
Springtime at the top of the Upper and Lower Tablerocks is very special. These grassy plataeus are bone-dry between June-October, but when the rains finally come, it is slowly transformed into a breathtaking wonderland. Beginning in February and lasting into June, flowers explode into bloom and unique vernal pools turn much of the Table Rock's surface into a marshy wetland. At the edges of the pools, and within them as well, tender plants grow and tiny flowers open in miniature living bouquets. It was here that I knelt carefully on the soggy ground to capture this lovely little scene. It looked like the sort of place a fairy might run and play, dancing among the moss and grass!
