The spring wildflower bloom is finally starting to show thanks to the massive rainfall California received this winter. Winter has stuck around a little longer than normal so the wildflower season has been a little slow to show, but we are finally starting to see the affects of the rain. April and I headed out last weekend for a quick trip to the Carrizo Plain National Monument and the Cottonwood Canyon areas west of Bakersfield. While there was a nice carpet of yellow on the Carrizo Plain, it still seemed a bit early for peak bloom. However, Cottonwood Canyon was simply spectular.
More to come as the spring bloom progresses. Cheers! Jason

Hi Jason,
Thanks for these pics. I am headed out to Cottonwood Canyon this saturday and it's good to see how it looks. And it looks amazing... So do I just head out to Highway 166 and then branch off to Cottonwood Canyon? I am thinking of arriving there around 3 pm (from LA) to get some nice evening light for photography. Can you recommend any other areas that I might or should visit in the coming weeks? Thanks
