Death Valley "Super Bloom" Last week

Death Valley "Super Bloom" Last week
The wildflower bloom was still going strong in Death Valley last week, in both density and variety.  In the last shot for example, you can see Desert Gold (Geraea canescens) and Caltha-leaf Phacelia (Phacelia calthifolia) , with Brown-Eyed Evening Primrose (Camissonia claviformis) and white Gravel Ghost (Atrichoseris platyphylla).  You can see some pink Purple Mat (Nama demissum) in there as well.

I'm gradually adding to my album of Death Valley spring shots: https://plus.google.com/photos/107459220492917008623/albums/5831194499079947137

    Checked out your Death Valley album. Used to live in Vegas. You did a sensational job capturing the stark Ness and the beauty of Death Valley. Amazing how the desert changes by the minute. Great work comparing the tiniest flowers with the quarter. Most people miss them entirely. Thanks for identifying some of t he flowers, a nice touch. Is there anything on earth as breathtaking as watching the desert come alive after a rain!

    Claudia Burs It's crazy how dense they are, then when you look closer, how diverse!

    Kathleen Peterson Thanks!  I have a broader album of Death Valley landscapes (https://goo.gl/photos/uDfQW1DSrv9mxLCb9), so I'm focusing on the wildflowers photos first from last week's captures.

G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park

G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park - A World Heritage Site, one of the world's most incredible landscapes - Lunar rainbows ("moonbows") - waterfalls at peak flow - dogwood trees blooming by the Merced River - Spring wildflowers - reflections in Spring pools & the Merced River - full moon night landscapes The second photowalk in my series this Spring, again coinciding with the full moon to maximize shooting opportunities, will be to Yosemite National Park. This is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, and with lunar rainbows and night, full waterfalls, and wildflowers and trees blooming, this is arguably the best weekend of the year to visit. Feel free to RSVP or ask questions here, or for more information in a post which won't get buried, I've set up a post under a new Yosemite page at this link, where I'll maintain all the latest logistical details: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116372553458318494396/116372553458318494396/posts/ct...

Limited Time Offer

Limited Time Offer For the next 2 weeks, the light of the setting sun will backlight Horsetail Falls just before sunset... if the waterfall is flowing and if clouds don't block the sun! I just cancelled reservations for 2 rooms at the Yosemite Lodge for Feb 24-26 Weekend. I'll still be going, but I decided to camp instead. Come on up and shoot Yosemite in the Winter! https://picasaweb.google.com/107459220492917008623/MyTravels20062009#5293901653794383122 #plusphotoextract
