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.

    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
