Borrego in Bloom

I was lucky enough to take a one day, get-out-of-town, change of scenery, roadtrip this month. And even luckier to make it out to the desert in one of the most productive wildflower season in years. Just as locally, the desert has flourished in the rain that we've all been cherishing, and painted the desert with every color imaginable.

Anza Borrego is near, yet such a an other worldy landscape. It's so vast and expansive.

The peace and heat are absorbed plentifully.

With just the right light from behind the catus look a glow

I felt like I was on a dry corral reef

Barrel cactus were out of control

(these little cuties are called Monkey flowers)

I love, love, love what a polarizer does to the midday sky

Julian being only an hour from North County and Borrego just 30 minutes from there, you have no excuse not to go. It's the perfect day or weekend trip.

Another Gorgeous Day for Photography

You can't complain about the weather here in California. I can't even count how many beach days we've had already this year and it's the beginning of Spring! So that makes almost any day, a nice day to go shoot on location. This day was not the exception. Not a cloud in the sky, warm sunniness and a super sweet family to hang out with. I got to hang with this super styley family back in December as well, with her side of the family, so of course it's only fair to have a session with his family too! It was good to see them again.

p.s. don't you love brick in those images there at the end? Anyone guess where that is? There's a little clue here in a couple of the shots.
