It was pretty incredible.<\/p>\n<p>A little confession. I once went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abdnha.org\/pages\/03flora\/reports\/current.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anza Borrego<\/a> to see the wildflowers. I lived in San Diego and it was a 2.5 hr drive out to see them. And after I did, I swore never again.<\/p>\n<p>You see, wildflowers in the desert is a cool idea. Because usually there are none. But really, most years, they are so tiny and few and far between, that you&#8217;re not going to get an amazing colorful landscape. So five hours of driving to experience the scrappiness of nature in the form of a couple of daisies leads to disappointment.<\/p>\n<p>NOT THIS TIME.<\/p>\n<p>The wildflowers are spectacular this year, and if you&#8217;re going to go once, this is the moment.<\/p>\n<h2>The Nitty Gritty<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[table id=18 \/]<\/p>\n<h2>From Flowers to Color<\/h2>\n<p>The first place we stopped had a number of these closed up daisies. I snapped a few shots because the hills in the background looked interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Using f\/8 helped get a lot more in focus from the foreground to the background.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0341-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Carrizo Plain Superbloom\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0341-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0341-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0341-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0341.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><div id=\"wp-image-9765-exif\" class=\"exif\"><div class=exifleft><div class=exiflabel class=exposure>Exposure<\/div><div class=value>1\/800s &#402;\/8 @ ISO 320<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=focal_length>Focal Length<\/div><div class=value>36.8mm<\/div><\/div><div class=exifright><div class=exiflabel class=camera>Camera<\/div><div class=value>Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II<\/div><div class=exiflabel class=created_timestamp>Date & Time<\/div><div class=value>April 11, 2017, 5:47 pm<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>We moved on further south, but my husband&#8217;s toy car (aka Miata) could no longer take the dirt road, so we had to pull over.<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit, the whole time we were here, I was mildly worried that the KERKLUNK we had heard from the Miata&#8217;s undercarriage meant that we were going to get stranded and die among the daisies.<\/p>\n<p>But I decided to stay positive and enjoy the Carrizo Plain wildflowers while I could. This second location was very popular as you can see here.

Using a wide lens helps with this effect &#8211; you can see the focal length was 8.8mm but this was a point and shoot, so the focal length equivalent of 24mm. If I&#8217;d pulled out my 10-18mm I could have got a wider shot.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another one, where I tried to bring attention to a clump of purple wildflowers.
