Wildflowers were blooming along California’s Pacific Ocean Coastline. Some, I recognize, others I couldn’t identify even with my flower book.

Mellow Yellow
Along Highway 46 in Central California are fields of mostly flowering yellow Mustard Grass. Winter rains have forced a beautiful blossom. More wildflower images along the Pacific Ocean and the orange hills near Tehachapi will follow soon.
Death Valley Is Anything But Dead
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.

Wildflowers On Parade At Kaibab National Forest
I spent a few days last week, beating the heat of Southern Utah’s desert, at the cool Kaibab National Forest next to Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. The spring rains and current monsoonal thunderstorms produced a colorful wildflower scene. More pics of the Grand Canyon to follow soon!
May Showers Bring June Flowers at South Coyote Buttes
I’ve been out to South Coyote Buttes 5 or 6 times but never experienced the blooming desert wildflowers on display. We’ve had quite a bit of rain this spring and it shows, even in the desert. South Coyote Buttes is on the Arizona/Utah border and is about 2o miles from the nearest paved highway.
A Carpet Of Yellow
Springtime rains have spawned a carpet of yellow at Wahweap Creek near Big Water, Utah
California’s Magnificent Coastline
I visited the coastline between Cambria and Big Sur last week and captured these images. Additional shots of a tremendous sunset and springtime flowers will follow soon

My Favorite Tree To Photograph. Trees?
A favorite tree? Who cares? The trees care. As a matter of fact, some well-known tree types have approached me about making them “My Favorite Tree To Photograph” The sequoia told me that they are the largest living organism in the world. Big is not always better. It’s hard to photograph a sequoia, you need a really wide lens. The palm tree said they offer style and some shade in the hot desert environment. So do roofs and air conditioning. The cottonwood said they they are extremely colorful in the autumn. So are Aspens and that’s why they are my favorite tree to photograph because of their multiple personality traits including the distinctive white bark. Aspens look cool even without leaves. Below are images of aspens in all four seasons.
