California Wildflowers

This past winter was particularly wet for Southern California and we are now enjoying a fabulous wildflower bloom. The past weekend April and I packed up the dog and the camper and headed out to the Desert to check it out for ourselves. The reports I heard had me excited but we were completely blown away by the variety and numbers of flowers blooming. We headed out to the Amboy Crater which is off old route 66, a bit south of the Mojave National Preserve. Unforuantely we didn't have particular great light and it was also extremely windy for much of the weekend. The wind makes it almost impossible to shoot with the large format camera so I don't have much to show for but I did get a few decent images. It is so good right now we will most likely be headed back out somewhere in the desert this coming weekend to hopefully make up for last weekend. Below are a few snaps from the digital camera just to show how remarkable it is out there right now.
