Today's Flowers / Desert Wildflowers at Anza Borrego State Park, California USA
These are the Dune Evening Primrose which I found at Anza Borrego State Park, California USA.
These desert wildflowers are quite abundant on the desert floor of this area right now.
They are found growing in the desert sand amongst other colorful wildflowers.
This is the Desert Lily also found at Anza Borrego State Park yesterday.
I will venture to say this flower is far less common since this is the only one I saw all day.

We went out to Anza Borrego State Park, yesterday, to view the many varieties of desert wildflowers.
We walked along this dirt road with a few other people observing the flowers close by.
The desert floor is covered with them...whites, pinks, purples, yellows, oranges...
The day was sunny so some nice shadows were sweeping across the sand.
It was a picture perfect day to be outside walking in the desert!

This is a scene from a turnout on the mountain road that leads to the desert floor.
The white spot in the distance is a dry lake bed and the left side of the photo shows the "green" desert floor.
The first sighting of color is the Yellow Desert Brittlebush.
The Anza Borrego Badlands are off in the distance.
The Ocotillo will be ablaze in red flowers soon!

It rained the night before and it was very windy this day.
The sky was a brilliant blue and the clouds were ever-changing across the sky.

I was REALLY disappointed with this photo when I saw it on my computer.
I was REALLY disappointed with this photo when I saw it on my computer.
It was the perfect shot...so I thought.
The glare from the ocean really washed it out.
I took several photos of these kids and they all looked the same.
I should have used the exposure compensation...

I'm not sure...what do you think?
Does it look any better?
