If you have the chance to visit a wildflower field in bloom, please remember that while walking through the flowers may be enjoyable to you, but it not only diminishes the experience for other visitors, it kills the flowers and future seedlings.
I caught wind of it blooming early this past January and was lucky enough to have the scenery to myself and another respectful photographer that stayed off the wildflowers.
I first visited a couple of years ago when I was searching for Desert Lilies. The amount of people in and around the field made it impossible to enjoy the beauty, and I was not even there on a weekend.
This area of Henderson Canyon during a bloom is arguably the most popular attraction of Anza-Borrego State Park. (continued...)

Another mum. The petals of this particular variety reminds me of straws.

The main pond at the Oak Glen Preserve. It is not difficult to see why this place is so popular.

I played around with a new light and managed to capture some of the iridescence of this butterfly ranunculus.

The contrast from cloudy skies can make the desert a magical place.

It is a little difficult to explain, but I just like how this picture of a carnation "feels".

When did you take the picture of that chair? I shot it 10 years ago!
Yesterday in Coyote Canyon. The winter rains have made the desert green. Unfortunately, I did not see any bighorn sheep.
