Monday Morning Plaskett Campground was full … Already. The over flow was creeping up Plaskett. By the weekend most flat spots will be filled. Before they are I got some more spring flowers. On Friday, they were almost all gone! I suspect that will change by this afternoon, when I head back home.


Douglas Iris


Ceanothus, blue and white on my property.


Western Columbine


Owl’s clover.

Tomorrow, I have another post ready to go, of shots taken on a back road I love to travel a couple times a year.

  • Wow. Part of the beauty of the wildflower is surely its surprise appearance in unexpected and frequently impossible places. All your photographs are stunning, thanks Kate. The western columbine's a favorite of mine. Grigg's Nursery, for anyone with a chance to go and lucky for me only a couple of hundred feet away, has rows of spectacular mature columbine for sale, along with groups of the most unusual plants ever imagined. It's like a field day at a botanical garden. It's well, like Big Sur, but cloistered.
