July 2025

I was recently made aware of a wildflower bloom in a valley I've known about for years but never explored. Thank you for the intel my friend as I couldn't believe my eyes upon arrival. A meadow of vibrant color. Thankful for this as the two trails I wanted to trek were closed for tree removal and fire mitigation. Once again conditions were tough. Either overcast or clear blue sky with blazing hot temps. I came away with a very satisfying haul for only being out for about six hours. *note to self* learn to properly shoot macro dude. You missed a number of shots. Also working on correct plant identification. This album is a quick upload as I'm still working better edits by unlocking more of my skills in Lightroom.
