Theme: Mojave Desert wildflower bloom
I went out to the desert a few days ago, following up on a tip from a fellow photographer, and found this wonderful carpet of Mojave Coreopsis. I was quite surprised, since we are in the middle of the three driest years in history. We did have one storm, that dumped rain for three days, but that's probably going to be all we get this year. It is getting to be a serious problem but nature prevails as always. Nik Detail Extractor and Topaz Clean used on this four-image pano. It's hard to get a sense of scale in the desert, but it is about three miles to Saddleback Butte, which is that group of hills in the right half of the frame.
