Since the year 2007 will be hideous for wildflowers down here in Southern California.. Only 3 inches of rain this year compared to a normal of 15 inches... THought I woule bring back some memories...

I was looking through some old images and noticed I had never posted any of these shots on my website... So I did a quick and dirty run through of the images and posted a new gallery.
These were all shot back in 2003 in the days of slide film....

They are from one of the best wildflower years that were had down in Southern California...

Check it out and let me know what you think??

great shots. I wasn't living here during the 2003 bloom but I heard it was great and your shots show it. Luckily I was here during 2005 though.

What a wonderful collection. I didn't realize that 2003 was such a bountiful year.

Thanks for the memories. I traveled through Gorman in 2003 and the colors took my breath away. Unfortunately, I didn't have a decent camera at the time. I had to settle for the pictures in my mind -- until now.
