I went hunting with my brother-in-law Saturday in Carrizo Plain Nat'l Monument and although we didn't shoot anything I came back with a few nice pictures. The wildflowers were blooming ALL OVER the place and the pictures you'll see are just a FEW of the different species now in bloom. What a gorgeous sight it was!
