I just returned from a 3 day trip to Anza Borrego. From my home in Northern California this means driving for two days to photograph for one day.

I drove down there since it has been quite some time since my last visit and since I never visited during the wildflower season. I was shocked by the amount of people at the visitor center. The campground parking for the Palm Canyon hike was full, so I decided to explore in other places.

Glorieta Canyon was nice, but even in this remote wilderness I was far from being alone. Many of the designated "wildflower" hikes turned out the same. For instance the claim of blooming cacti near Tamarisk Grove was wrong, as it was too early in the season.

Overall I had a good time and on my way to and from the Desert I managed to get some good photographs of Los Angeles.

I wrote a detailed report on Wildflower Photography in Anza Borrego Desert on the Photo Scout Site.
