Joshua Tree NP Wildflower Report
by Lee on Mar.01, 2009, under Articles, Schedule
On my way to Bosque del Apache, NM, I stopped by JTNP to check wildflower conditions. At the southern end, most of the vegetation is nicely turning green with spots of early bloomers such as this bladderpod.
On the way home, I came across I-8 along the southern route through Tucson. That route was already in full bloom with lots of brittle bush, sand verbena, Arizona poppy and others that I couldn’t identify at 65MPH.
Some recent reports say Anza-Borrego State Park has already started peak bloom and anyone waiting much longer may miss it. Bottom line, it looks like Joshua Tree NP around the middle of March will be perfect for that area.
If you can’t go to Anza-Borrego, consider my JTNP Spring Desert Wildflower Photoshoot on March 21 or 22.

Here’s What’s New at Strobist- SaxonPC Grids: Straddling Store-bought and DIY May 17, 2012Like McNally says, if you want to make something more interesting, don't light all of it. And to that end, I use grid spots a lot. In fact, probably just as often as I use umbrellas. My workhorse speedlight grid has long been the HonlPhoto 1/8". But for those looking for a lower entry point (or more extreme beam widths) SaxonPC grids offer a second […]
- Anatomy of a Project: Miller Mobley's Re-enactors May 14, 2012When I worked at The Sun, a lot of emphasis was put on always having multiple projects in the hopper. Self-generated projects are the lifeblood of any good paper, and they promote exploration and serendipity. Since I have gone out on my own, I can honestly say projects have the single most important vehicle for developing my photography. I always have at lea […]
