Artist's Comments

I was overwhelmed by the abundance of wildflowers today
was the drive worth the view? yes, was it worth making dozens of pictures in various formats as the scene moved me? yes, I photographed and played with my 4x5 film camera, Velvia 100 chromes were made, and 6x7 Velvia 50 chromes were made, dozens of digital images, panoramas, close-ups ... Digi was over joyed.

I am only posting 1 pic for now, taken with my D2xs & 85 2.8 pc, this is as close to straight out of the camera as I can make it, sizing for the web and sharpening a touch ... enjoy

Wow! That is nuts... so many flowers.
It really is a different year in terms of what is blooming and when...I just spotted some little blue flowers in my yard that I have not seen before... have to take a good pic tomorrow so that I can key them out.

Jeez!! Unbelievable.

Can't wait to see how those Velvia shots turned out!

I gather light and sound to tell the stories of our time-- so that they may not be lost with the turning of the tide

I shot flowers I have never seen before, I am trying to ID them, not an easy task at all
chuckle I am going to post a panorama of the earlier shot, I am trying to size it down and keep some detail, very hard to do

I have at least 6 I have no clue as to what they are, I have a lot of photo work to do this weekend, but after that I can devote some time looking, as your know each valley here in California has at least a few unique plant that only live in them ... I appreciate the help ;) and the link.

Given how many flowers were in that one scene alone, I am surprised it is only 6... This is a great year for wildflowers, and dumb things that I need to do have been bogging me down and not letting me get out in the fun the way I should, so it will be extra fun for me to see pics of your mystery plants when you post them.
