Font’s Point, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California.
We have been working our way through the adjusting, key-wording and finally adding our photos from our last trip to our website. We just updated our section of Anza-Borrego photos from our time spent there this spring.
We now have a lot of coverage of this beautiful desert, too bad few people outside of Southern California have heard of the place. Heck, I come across people in So Cal who haven’t heard of it – but then again, the relatively low visitors numbers is one of the things I like about the place.

Great work Ron, looks even better now with the larger photos on the site. I hadn’t heard of the park either before the big bloom of 2005.
Helluva collection!

Thanks a lot guys!

Wow, what a great variety of work Ron. Looks like a great place, especially that pumpkin patch.
Just curious, how many keywords would you guess you do per image?
OMG! Ron, these photos are beautiful. I mean absolutely gorgeous. Would make for an awesome magazine feature spread or coffee table book. Nice work!

Thank you very much guys, I appreciate it!
You know Mark, I think I end up with around 50 keywords, unless there is an animal, person or a person performing an activity, then that number goes up a lot.
You can see our keywords if you use the search-able feature, and click on the thumbnail – or by clicking on the Buy a Print link on one of our regular pages that contain a large image.
How many do you usually have?
Thanks,
Ron
It varies a lot, but I doubt I come up with 50! I would say 20-30 is maybe the average. I should definitely be adding more I think! Have you ever seen a industry target or goal that people should shoot for?

I think at times I do too many. I wonder if there are standards. It does really seem to vary by photo. Setting up a thesaurus in IMatch has sure speed up the process and improved our consistency.
This place to most people is like being on Mars! It’s plenty sad when you can’t see all kinds of nature. Great photo!!

It does like like something from another planet. Thanks Beth,

Thanks for sharing your wonderful set of Anza Borrego, they are all very inspiring photo. I’ve been here in San Diego for 4 years already but I only been to Anza Borrego twice. In fact, I only know of Font’s Point from your site last spring, I am glad I came across your site otherwise, I would not have witnessed that unique beauty of Font’s Point. Thanks a lot for all your sharing that makes us all aware how beautiful our world is, even in just our own backyard. Maybe, I’ll try Pumpkin Patch someday, is it a difficult drive? Many many thanks again.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for the comment!
It is great to hear that you learned about, and were able to experience an amazing place like Fonts point through the blog. Makes the effort to post worthwhile!
Pumpkin Patch is a longer drive then the road to Fonts Point, and involves a making turns at a couple of intersections – but they are fairly well marked. It would be hard to describe, but they can mark the route for you at the Visitor Center.
You do need a vehicle with moderate clearance. I have never needed 4×4 in my pickup, but the extra clearance was nice. My folks followed us in there in some sort of little rental SUV with 4 wheel drive – it had really low clearance for a 4 wheel drive, but they still made it by picking there way around the taller rocks.
Thanks,
Ron
Thanks a lot for your reply. It just amazes me that a pro like you is more than willing to help others learn abour their world. Thanks for the input, again. Really appreciate it.
Mind blowing!
