In a good year, this field at Lost Dutchman State Park is ablaze with the yellows and whites of Mexican poppies, the yellows of brittlebush and the blues of Lupine. In a horrible year, you get this. Those little yellow specks on the ground are poppies:

1 and 2 are really nice. Seems a bit too much pink in the last shot. In the mountains and in the foreground.

Nice shots. I really like the composition of the first one with the moon there.

Thanks to all for the comments and Crimzon I took your advice and replaced the original. That was the first file I processed on Lightroom 4 and made a mess of it. Not sure if I like 4 or not.

Hey, Irish...thanks for showing us the 'lack' of wildflowers...saved me a drive all the way out there to shoot wildflowers! ;)
