The slant of this luscious carpet of flowers is a beautiful approach. Thank you for sharing a piece of gorgeous countryside with the rest of us. I admire your work!

This area burns naturally all by itself–no need for human intervention. BUT houses will be irreparable damage. A lot of the flowers are fire followers, and they tend to be choked out once the chaparral starts encroaching. In fact, this area burned last October. Some of the riparian trees got burned to a crisp but the wildflower fields grew fairly well, by my understanding (I didn’t make it there for wildflower season this year).

The wildflowers on the hills of California are almost unbelievable the first time you see them. I treasure some of my own photos and all of the memories I have of the San Juaquin Valley and ‘the grapevine’ up past Fort Tejon and on to L.A. In 1977 I saw my first California Condor near this area. A few years later, the captive breeding program was implemented to save them. The really sad thing is that if these hills are developed, they will go the way of the current 800+ wildfire areas. Thank you for letting us enjoy them while they’re still there.

Goregous composition of almost fairytale-like vista….I HOPE the area survive in reality.

Lovely tapestry of colours! Exquisite photo!
Truly, this is “what nature is all about.”

Residing in a charming village, called The Hamlet of Pt.Clark,there are numerous meadows within the area, that is a replica of your “gorgeous photo.”

Thanks for sharing.

ok, in looking a little further at maps, I’ve come to the conclusion that this spot may be saved–but I’m not sure photographers will be able to photograph wildflowers with vistas anymore. I think the viewscape will be permanently altered. We’ll just have to hope it takes them a long time to get the permits and whatnot.
