Had to go to Death Valley National Park to check out the Super Bloom. I’ve been going to Death Valley for about 10 years and have never experienced this amount of flowers and people. I captured the floral display starting a few hours before sunset. The predominate flower south of Furnace Creek is the Desert Gold Sunflower or as I like to call it, Geraea Canescens. Stay tuned for more pics from Eureka Dunes, fighter jets and the Pacific Coast.
Even the Coyote came out to check the scene.
Wow, this must be awesome to see in person! Gorgeous!
It was really awesome!
Stunning photos.
Gorgeous shots!
…anything but dead via your lens, Michael! Fabulous wildflowers!
Thanks Amy, this only happens in DV every 10 years
I love it…I was driving my room-mates truck and you got it in your picture
Nope I was wrong….not the same truck
Mine’s a Ford Rnager
So glad you posted these. I’d heard that Death Valley was filled with flowers, but had seen only one pic.
Glad you enjoyed Peggy
Beautiful blooming going on there.
the one thing I couldn’t capture was the overpowering but sweet scent
Michael, you actually did, I could smell all the fragrances1
I knew it was powerful
Holy cow your pictures are gorgeous! We were just there 3 days ago and I was so happy we found the desert in bloom. We were fortunate enough to see the blooms in Australia after a rainy year. I can’t say which one was better. Thanks for visiting my blog. Keep up that great photography!
By the way, I have added a post on my blog to link to your lovely pictures. I hope you don’t mind.
I really appreciate it!
It’s my pleasure!

Superb photoset – looks a great place for a hike 🙂
Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for showing it to us. It is indeed very different from our two visits – one in the heat of August and one in better climate in October. I have read about the super bloom of this year but unfortunately won’t be able to go so it is great to see it through your photos. (Suzanne)
Wonderful photos! I thought about hopping in the car and getting down there but there wasn’t enough time. Thanks for sharing your really wonderful photos!
superb capture
Hi Michael. I came here via cteachr’s blog post featuring your amazing photograph. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Glad you like the photos and thanks for the follow!
Beautiful photographs. As you say, Death Valley is anything but dead!
wonderful photos
Death valley is outstanding with your shots! Such a far corner of the earth!

Beautiful. It was even in the news here (Netherlands) it rained more than normally.
It rained a few inches last autumn but Death Valley only gets about 3 inches a year
Just lovely! I heard about the bloom on the news–thanks for sharing and for stopping by. I look forward to checking out your blog!
Thank you for following my blog. I love Death Valley, and you did a great job of capturing it.
Thanks Anne!
Inspiring shots. Thank you 🙂
My lady and I have been wanting to see the bloom for years, and were super bummed at not being able to this year especially, so thank you for getting and sharing these shots! We’ll have to be more on top of it next year…
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed!
