Brush Creek Overlook, Sequoia National Forest 12 June

Southern California Wildflowers rival any that can be found in the garden. Delicate delights for the eyes and nose, you are invited to experience the wondrous vistas awaiting with our spectacular year-round shows. Although spring is best. All year you can find amazing floral treats.  Thanks to Bob Allen, Janet Cupples, Eve Laeger, Leslie Lipton, Maynard Moe, Wendy Rannals, Jim Shevock, and Annelisa Stephan for helping with some plant ID's. Many of these photos are taken as part of my official duties with the U. S. Forest Service. I wish to thank Teresa Benson and Judy Schutza of the Sequoia National Forest for allowing the rest of the world to see their beautiful forest.
