    What a beautiful photo! You can almost imagine it blooming before your very eyes, the way you took the photograph. That’s really cool!! And what a beautiful color, kind of pinkish-melon.

    Thanks Beth!

    This was during the very last light of the day - that warm light helped make the flowers really glow!

    Thanks Suj,

    When I left the San Diego area a couple of weeks ago, some of the areas were starting to fade - especially Anza-Borrego. You might try the higher elevations in some of the burn areas. The lower areas were sure amazing with poppies - maybe you can find areas still in bloom a little higher.

    Good luck,

    Ron

    Hi Ron,

    What a great cactus, and flowering to boot. I’ve always had a thing for cacti - I think they are so beautiful. I even had books on cacti and succulents when I was like 10. What a strange kid.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks man.

    I don’t think you were that strange - I used to grow cactus when I was like 10, so I can relate.

    Ron
