Patches of Wildflowers Viewed from Above, Carrizo Plain National Monument, California

Viewed from the summit of a mountain in the Temblor Range, patches of wildflowers in the Carrizo Plain National Monument in California take on the abstract appearance of spilled color. The wildflowers in this view are predominantly goldfields, fiddlenecks, and phacelia. Ths image was captured during a so-called superbloom when an unusually high number of wildflowers blossom at the same time, usually the result of wet winter and spring weather. The seeds may have been dormant for years in the more typically dry desert soil.
