Wildflower Reports?

[Mark Sedenquist]

Megan and I took a short road trip to view wildflowers near Elizabeth Lake in southern California yesterday. More images to follow, but this one shows the show is underway!

(I'll edit this post with the latest reports -- but here's another view of that same hill)

One of the delights of the season is to continue north on Munz Ranch road towards Antelope Valley. As you descend to the valley floor -- there are stunning vistas of fields covered with wildflowers!

This is looking SW towards the Libre Mountain area from the Antelope Valley:

This was captured with Megan's phone -- pretty amazing what these devices are now capable of. Taken along Elizabeth Lake Road just NW of the lake community

This is Phacelia and California Poppies

Here is a list of the various wildflower articles we've published over the years -- which are somewhat evergreen -- the information never really goes out of date -- even if the bloom is different each year!

That's quite an amazing sight and Megan has done a great job capturing the moment with those wonderful images. Nice one !
