postcard from the fields
To: you
From: me
Hot, dusty, tired, and a little sunburned. Also covered in white, yellow, orange, and purple pollen. Lots of grass stains. It’s a Claritin kind of trip. Totally worth it. Achoo! See you when I get back.

Those tidy tips are so cheerful. Is this Southern California?

Gorgeous pictures! I love how alien Joshua trees look, like something out of Dr. Seuss.

Incredible! I had no idea that it bloomed around Joshua Tree. Now I want to go back and visit in the Spring!

What an amazing part of the world you live in – and amazing to capture it as you do. I’ll pass you the tissues if you keep on sharing posts like this!

Thanks everyone! So glad you enjoyed the spring bloom. It’s such a stunning sight to behold (when you can find them!) :)
Nate – yes! It’s east of San Luis Obispo.
Phoo-D – it does bloom around Joshua Tree although I think the bloom is more in March. We weren’t near JT, rather we were in north Antelope Valley and they have lots of Joshua Trees growing there :)
zingara – if you poke around the blog, there are photos every now and again of me, but in general… photographers aren’t really keen on being photographed :)
Sil – ah well, without the pollen we wouldn’t have flowers. It’s totally worth it :) xo
