A Wildflower Walk (somewhat)

Last Year
Originally uploaded by dewelch.

I needed to get out of the noise of the city today so I headed out to one of my favorite parks, Rocky Oaks in the Santa Monica Mountains.

I really had just planned to go for a short hike, but even though it is early in the season, I came across a few wildflowers putting on a show. This is an artsy shot of one of last's year's seed heads against the green of the new growth.

My garden is much too shaded to support wildflowers, but I often wish I could grow them. Their show is short, but they really pack a lot of bang for the buck.
