If you’re still seeing this, it means I won’t have web access for the next several days.
Still lots of color on the North Access trail to Toms Thumb so get it while you can!

what’s blooming in the north preserve
Almost nine miles (8.64) of hiking in the North Preserve yesterday revealed wildflowers galore! The same but more of what I posted on March 6th and March 7th along with new sightings. There were some nice large areas of Poppies and Lupine on the Tom’s Thumb trail but we got there before they opened. They were scarce in the Rock Knob area but I definitely see evidence of plants so it may the last area to pop out.
Photographers FYI: Most Preserve flowers are VERY small so take a macro lens.

White and yellow poppies are surprisingly still out in force. My lensbaby is working overtime 🙂
Lupine and Poppies
A little cloud cover made the colors pop. The wind, however, was a challenge. Photoshop art filters were perfect for this scene.
White and Yellow Poppies
Taxes still not done but how can I concentrate with this record bloom going on! I’m going back out 🙂
Poppies at Bartlett Lake
Miles and miles of poppies at Bartlett lake. Going out for close-ups today.
Desert Wildflowers
Our Death Valley road trip was awesome but better yet was that the wildflowers held on til we got home!
Room with a View
From my office window yesterday morning I noticed that Poppies have come up all over the mountains around us. We haven’t seen them around here for about 10 years so it’s very exciting!
