#GeraeaCanescens AKA #HairyDesertSunflower (or just #DesertSunflower if you prefer to be less judgemental about it). This field of them north of #BorregoSprings is massive & has a number of other annuals blooming & sprouting as well. I’ve read in flower reports that these are not cold hardy so catch them before a hard frost destroys the flowers! Usually they bloom like this in the spring. #AnzaBorregoDesertStatePark #subbloom2022 #californianativeplants #californiawildflowers #geraea #asteraceae #coloradodesert (at Borrego Springs, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmpbmJcyqxz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Embrace a moment of serenity as the sun gracefully sets over Font's Point, illuminating the vastness of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Indianhead peak is one of the most challenging hikes I've ever done. Although this mountain was definitely not for the faint of heart, the view from the summit was absolutely breathtaking. Would I recommend it? Well, it's hard to say. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #adirondacks #adventure #amazing #anzaborrego #anzaborregodesert #anzaborregodesertstatepark #borregosprings #california #committoyourjourney #desert #getoutside #havefun #hike #hiking #indianhead #mountains #socal #summit #thedesert #travel (at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-zsd1PUp9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I came, I saw, and I conquered the Slot Canyon at Buttes Pass at Anza Borrego Desert State Park! This was the very first Slot Canyon that I have ever seen, hiked, and photographed on March 13, 2023! Special thanks to @jameskapfotofor adding this Slot Canyon visit to our itinerary at Anza Borrego Desert State Park, and for this picture of me above the Buttes Pass Slot Canyon!

Beyond Botanical Illustration in Anza Borrego

Join me on a nature journaling botanical adventure in the desert of Anza Borrego! This is a great place for nature journaling, plein air painting, botanical illustration and other art forms.

Join me for an epic overland adventure to Coyote Creek in the Anza Borrego Desert State Park, in eastern San Diego county, Southern California.  This is one of the most pristine and beautiful desert wilderness areas I have ever seen, and is only accessible beyond the first few miles by high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicles.  The northernmost area of Borrego Springs is the entry point to Coyote Canyon for vehicle traffic, and the winter wildflowers are starting to bloom over the open fields.

Up early this morning for our last hike in the desert. The light, sounds, scents are all so different from the Midwest. The stimulation of the new and different force our minds out of the sleepwalk that is our everyday lives. ~ Matteo #anzaborrego #anzaborregodesertstatepark #desert #fanpalm #palmtrees #nativepalm #hiking #ocotillo #cactus #chollacactus #hiking (at Hellhole Canyon, Anza Borrego, Ca) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdCN2vvvIkq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Love to find little carpets of #DiplacusBigelovii / #BigelowsMonkeyflower. (This was last week.

I'm a whole year behind on posting my Milky Way shots. This is from Milky Way chase no. 7, taken at Anza Borrego. I was standing off the road, in the middle of a bunch of weeds. And a huge truck came by, somehow spotted me, and asked me if I was OK, lol This was the third location of the night and my second of three straight nights of shooting. One of my top locations, Clark Dry Lake Bed didn't work out because despite all of my research indicating I could, I still couldn't take my car to the dry lake bed. . . . #milkywaychaser #milkyway #milkywaychase #anzaborrego #anzaborregodesertstatepark #california #landscapephotography #landscape #astrophotography (at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCAHwkiFqyJ/?igshid=m7h7uxlxzueu
