Desert willows and smoke trees continue to bloom
Strawberry Moon on Wednesday
A Desert Willow blooms in Anza Borrego.
The Blooming Of Desert Annuals Is Over, but not that of the region's stolid desert willows and smoke trees. Rooted in the beds of dry washes throughout Anza-Borrego’s lower valleys, both plants gather enough energy this time of year to put on an impressive floral show. The graceful, drooping branches of the desert willow hold fragrant white blossoms, while the spindly smoke tree exhibits a myriad of blue-purple flowers. To avoid the intense midday heat, confine your desert explorations to early morning or early evening. And watch out for bees — they’re attracted to the blossoms, too.

June's Full Moon Occurs Wednesday, the 11th. Watch as it arcs upward into the darkening eastern sky, starting some 15 minutes after the time of sunset. June's full moon has been called the "Rose Moon," "Strawberry Moon," or "Honey Moon" because of its tinted color. When seen from a northern latitude such as our own, the June full moon traces a low-lying nightly path across the sky, very similar to the sun's daytime, low-lying path at the winter solstice. At such low positions, the Moon's light tends to be filtered and reddened by its passage through the atmosphere, producing the appearance of a warm, slightly yellow color.
Grunion tend to spawn on wide, gently sloping beaches such as Silver Strand, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Del Mar.
Grunion Runs Are Predicted To Occur during the late evening hours (generally after 10 pm and before 1 am), following the nocturnal high tide Wednesday through Saturday, June 11-14. The small, silvery fish tend to spawn on wide, gently sloping beaches such as Silver Strand, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Del Mar. Open season for grunion typically starts in June, but doesn't begin until July this year, and from then until the end of August the fish can be collected in reasonable numbers using the hands only. Until then, only observation is allowed. For more information, visit wildlife.ca.gov
Pre-sunrise early Morning -in-Laguna-Mountains "Chartier"
The Earliest Sunrise Of The Year, reckoned in Daylight Saving Time, occurs Saturday, June 14, at 5:40 am. This event occurs about a week before the longest day of the year — the summer solstice — because of factors related to the shape of the Earth’s orbit and the angle between Earth’s axis and the plane of its revolution around the sun.
