Image of the Month - March 2016

May 06, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

2016 was the year of the "superbloom" in Death Valley - Fall and Winter rains enabling an outrageous display of wildflowers that attracted visitors from all over the world.  We had made plans for a Spring desert trip to Death Valley long before the superbloom made the news.  Fortunately, Death Valley is a BIG place and you can always find solitude if you know where to go.  I captured this image of Desert Paintbrush on the drive into Titus Canyon.  The yellow wash on the ridge in the background is from Golden Evening Primrose, which were blooming in abundance during our visit.
