Carrizo Plain Wildflowers Spring 2011

Here’s a quick photographic tour of conditions at Carrizo Plain a couple of days ago. Opinions on this year’s bloom range from normal to “past peak” to “slow and coming,” and all three may be true in places. Whatever the high level summary you want to assign, you’ll work harder to find less compared to last year, but you can still find some great patches to work with if you put in the time and miles.
