After the Fire…
Last year was a particularly devastating fire season in California. In early November the Woolsey fire burned from just west of the San Fernando Valley all the way to the Pacific(the bathroom on the beach at Leo Carrillio State Park burned). While not a devistating as the Paradise fire in Northern California, the Woolsey fire killed 3 people, burned down over 1300 structures, and evacuated almost 400,000 people. This past winter has been wetter than average, though not enough to cause the mountains to flow to the sea, it’s been sufficient for the mountains to bloom. A photographer friend asked if I wanted to shoot over at the coast last week and we stopped midway over the mountains and found this incredible bloom.

The Ridge
This looks up the hill, the flowers reach all the way to the rocky ridge at the top. The yellow flowers in the foreground are wild mustard.
