Drought has eliminated big wildflower blooms in Southern California for the past three springs.
These shots from the vault were taken in Antelope Valley in the spring of 2010.

Yeah, no poppies this year that I ever heard of. Both are cool shots, but #2 is really nice. Good work with that.

Thanks Karl and Harsha. I'm used to seeing you guys in the Nature & Wildlife Forum, and I appreciate the nice comments from two people whose work I regularly view and respect.

Very Nice. Kinda jealous we don't get spreads that big up on N. CA

Thank you, Dan. One reason we get these big spreads is we have all this flat low-land, which is really dry and nondescript right now. On the other hand, you have all those high mountains with big wet forests going all the way down to the rugged coasts, so the jealousy is two-way.

Nice layering and pop to this one!
