I am a little bit late to the Carrizo Plains wildflower party, but I thought I would share my visit there, too. I was there at the tail end of a passing storm that gives such a dramatic light to the scene. I took a slightly different approach to show the wildflower "megabloom" this year. Rather than showcasing the flowers, like my other landscape images, I turn towards an abstract representation of the scene depicting the rolling hills of the Temblor Range blanketed by the wildflowers. The flowers are mostly hillside daisy and California goldfields. There are also patches purple phacellias.
