Still reeling from seeing Desert Candles in February in the Carrizo Plain. Below is a plot of observations (CCH, CalFlora, iNat) in SLO county since 1935 and yes 2026 is very much an outlier. Flowering ~1.5 months early and even more so since many were in seed last weekend. #carrizoplain #flowers

It’s that time of the year; where the color of the Carrizo Plain starts to become incredibly bright and vibrant.

Carrizo Plain National Monument well before the Madre fire. #madrefire #carrizoplain

Madre Fire Continues to Grow as Conditions Challenge Firefighters | Local News | Noozhawk The Madre Fire has grown above 70,800 acres as winds and plenty of tall, dry vegetation continue to feed the flames in southeastern San Luis Obispo

The #MadreFire is still raging and all I can think about are all the critters that call #CarrizoPlain home.

Quick trip to the Carrizo Plain yesterday yielded this beauty (and some others to follow). #carrizo #carrizoplain #mountainbluebird #birds 🪶

An abandoned barn at sunset becomes the perfect frame At the end of March a few years ago we spent a weekend in the Carrizo Plain in central California to witness the superbloom. We also planned several photo shoots with model Chantal. This is a portrait shot at an abandoned barn. -- ƒ/7.1, 36 mm, 1/80 sec, ISO 400, Sony A7 II, FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS, HDR, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, © 2019 Peter Thoeny, @Quality HDR Photography
