Flowers in the Desert

Last week I spent three days in the desert near San Diego and El Centro, California. Wildflowers bloomed profusely because of heavy rainfall during the fall and early winter months, and we gave our cameras good workouts. The hard part was deciding which pictures to prepare for the website and for emailing. I hope you enjoy these.

I took this first picture in Thing Valley:
a field of yellow all around.

We'd never seen white lupin before.
Usually it's the more common purple variety.
