Today I wanted to capture the peak of the “carpet effect” of the explosion of wildflowers in the California desert. These photos show us those carpets. The snow-capped mountain in the first photo is Mt. San Gorgonio, taken from the entrance road to Mission Creek Preserve. The snow-capped mountain in the third photo is Mt. San Gorgonio, taken from Whitewater Canyon Road. The flowers are predominantly brittebush (encilia).
Tomorrow, I’m driving toward area east of Joshua Tree National Park, with the plan to take photos of purple wildflower carpets. I’ll share those tomorrow if I do that.
