It’s the most beautiful time of year here—so many things blooming! And while I do love photographing the dead or hibernating plants in the summer, the wildflowers in the spring are wonderful.

I would like this one much better without that bottom flower, or if it was in focus with the others. But these little flowers are so pretty.

From farther away, glowing in the rising sun:

RAWR!

I love the color in the trees, too.


Save the best for last. This is my favorite shot from the morning:
