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.

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.

A word a week - face of woman in tree trunk

WordPress weekly photo challenge: Wrong

I usually post photos for the WordPress weekly photo challenge on my Perfecting Motherhood blog, but I thought I’d reblog this week’s theme, since the photos I featured are quite interesting and unusual, even wrong.

I recently took some cool photos at a San Diego county park a few weeks ago, so I thought maybe something in there would fit the theme. And that’s when I found not one but two photos to share. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

The first one is the photo of a two-third dead tree. I say two thirds because its trunk split in three early on in its growth and two of them had to be cut off, probably because they weren’t doing so well. The three-trunk tree looks wrong, especially with limbs cut off, but I love how nature can make a wrong right by providing shelter in the hollow trunks for animals in need.

The second photo is of another tree where something else wrong happened with its trunk. But if you look closely, you may find something right came out of this wrong. I describe it as the hooded lady with a scarf. I love finding shapes like that!Do you see it? If you don’t, maybe there’s something “wrong” with you. 😉

WordPress weekly photo challenge: Wrong – the hidden face in the tree

The face in the rock

I love looking at rocks, big and small, mountains and cliffs, and try to discover the hidden shapes within them. Some shapes are very obvious, others are harder to spot, even when you help people trying to see them.

Here’s a large boulder I found while enjoying a walk in Idyllwild County Park in the town of Idyllwild, California. To me, the hidden face in the rock is very obvious but I often wonder how many people walk by it and never notice it.

Click on the photo of the hidden face in the rock for larger view.

A few months ago, I was hiking in Mission Trails Regional Park in San Diego, California, when I looked up at the cliffs facing me on the side of the trail.

That’s when I spotted it. The hidden head profile in the rocks. It’s facing left, with its big nose and big brow. But then a friend of mine mentioned the dog. What dog, I asked? The one on the right of the face, he replied. Well, I’ll be damned, I did see the dog as clear as day after he mentioned it. And it’s cute too.

Take a look at this photo of the man’s hidden face and the dog’s hidden face and let me know if you spot them too.
