This smaller cactus species was planted near the sage scrub area. It had smaller spines than the coastal prickly pear.

These little dragonflies buzzed around out in the Canyon Ripirian. The abundance of water and shade created an ideal living environment for them.

A smaller shrub, hanging near the feet of the pepper trees. It's a lot greener and lively than it's california sage brothers.

Planted in a mediterranean environment, many different species of plants live in the Santa Barbara mountain area.

Near the parking lot at Eaton Canyon.

These guys are always scurrying around the watershed park's recreational area.

We found this species near the parking lot in Hahamongna.

What even is this tree doing here?! This deciduous tree was found in the northeastern corner of Hahamongna near a water runoff. Huge leaves and huge seed pods.

This palm was probably planted here by the ranchers at Hahamongna. It's tall and cool, but it's the only of its kind in the area.. so lonely..

Ouch, this plant stabbed me through the ziploc bag I held it in. Anyway, we found these species growing out of the sandy banks of the Hahamongna wash.

Not 100% sure if this is the exact species. We found this one in the canyon, shaded by the alders there.

The visitor's center has a nice selection to sample from.

This species may not be the exact mimosa species I listed. Any info on the genus?

Alongside the trail to the Arroyo Seco bridge.
