I love the late winter / early spring in Southern California. It is the time of the year when the landscape looks the greenest, when it benefits from a few good rains after not getting any for six to eight months. Wildflowers start popping up everywhere, starting in January.

By the time March comes, wildflowers blooms are everywhere, from your local park to the side of the freeway. I love it! What about you?

My 2013 photo calendar pick for February is these beautiful lemon blossoms that I shot against a gorgeous blue winter Southern California sky.

Some people have told me in the past how amazed they are at the blueness of the San Diego skies. Honestly, the sky here is not this blue every day but sometimes we’re lucky. And I love using it as a background for my subjects if I can.

Purple and white California lupine at San Diego Mission Trails Regional Park

The color purple

San Diego County is home to many types of plants and flowers and Spring is the best season to spot colorful blooms. By the time June comes, everything turns to yellow and brown so you need to enjoy the blooms while they last. Lilac blooms are my favorite for sure (more lilac blooms here).

This past Spring, as I was hiking in a regional park called San Diego Mission Trails park, I noticed a beautiful purple flower on the side of the path. I kneeled down to take the photo below of this lupine plant. I call it the color purple.

“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.”
― Alice Walker, The Color Purple

Wordpress weekly photo challenge: Focus - Sweet pea flower in Idyllwild, California

Sweet pea, you’re so pretty

The small town of Idyllwild, California, is famous for its strawberry creek and its strawberry plants all over town. But after visiting the town a couple of times, I’ve figured out sweet peas also are a popular sight all over. The blooms are either bright pink or white and you’ll often see patches of both colors blending in together.

Sweet pea flowers are very simple but they’re also very pretty. Nature really knows how to make the best out of every plant.

Cluster of pink flowers blooming on a tree

Beautiful tree blossoms, if I just knew what they were

San Diego County is home to many native and non-native plants and trees. Besides the dense California sage brush, the many types of cactus, and the annoying, ugly eucalyptus everywhere you look, you can be lucky and find some gems, especially during blooming season.

I still have a to take a great picture of a jacaranda tree (it will have to be next May or June) but in the meantime, I’d like to share these beautiful tree blooms. I actually have no idea what type of tree this is but I love the bold pink flower clusters that cover it in the spring.

May 2013 update: thanks to one of my visitors, I found out this tree is called a purple robe locust. Just beautiful!
