Anza Borrego Wildflowers - 2011

Last month Penelope and I took another excellent trip with the Desert Explorers. During the adventure we explored various parts of Anza Borrego and saw an ample assortment of wildflowers. I've never captured so many different species in one outing. I was very impressed with the range of flora throughout the park. Amazing:

Desert Globemallow

Sphaeralcea ambigua

Mojave Indigo Bush

Psorothmnus aborescens

Ocotillo

Rock Daisy

Eriophyllum lanosum

Anza Borrego

This weekend Penelope and I went trained with our Search and Rescue team out in Anza Borrego. We competed in an orienteering race and did an ELT search. I came in 4th in my division (Orange) out of 10 people. During a slow point in the mission I shot some photos of the amazing views at Buttes Pass in Anza Borrego:
