This is from the first portion of the Palm Oasis trail in Palm Canyon, looking back toward the valley floor. The large clump of red flowers is the Chuparosa plant, and the tall plant in the backgound is the Ocotillo.

These Echium, or Pride of Madeira, plants were just beginning to bloom in late February. It was between storms, making for dramatic skies. The location was very close to the previous post.

Sometimes an archway is just a beautiful archway. This entrance to a home in Monterey, California was nicely framed by a magnificent bougainvillea. Unfortunately, the plant was damaged by frost and is no longer there.

Calla Lily and Raindrops

Calla lilies often grow underneath or near Coastal Live Oaks in my neighborhood. As the shape is like a chalice, and as oaks constantly drop leaves and other litter, it is rare to find a lily free of debris. This one seems to have been washed clean by the previous evening’s rain.

Poppy and Dewdrop

This is one of my favorite early morning images. This poppy, in the shade in my backyard, is still closed, but the sun is reflecting back from the brick wall. A single drop of dew is ready to fall.
