“Desert Gold and Mountains” — Rugged desert mountains tower above gravel fans filled with blooming desert gold flowers, Death Valley.

I have been sharing a lot of photographs from this year’s spectacular wildflower bloom in Death Valley National Park — and I’m not quite done yet! In dry years one may have to go off searching (sometimes in vain) for landscape-carpeting flowers like these. But this year, after a previous season of good rainfall the flowers were easy to find…more: https://gdanmitchell.com/2026/04/15/desert-gold-and-mountains/

The Creeping Buttercup for #wildflowerwednesday

As a Millennial I can’t help but think of Princess Buttercup from The Princess Bride.

I’ve got this vintage Vivitar 75-205 f3.8 that produces some nice bokeh and has macro capability. It’s got that vintage rendering that I think carried over well in these photos. It’s a heavy lens but if I could just pick one for walking around doing nature shots I think it would cover all the bases.

I can’t decide whether I like the cropped im version or the original framing. Cropped in looks nice because of the little water drops but the sky bokeh also looks nice. I dont know what do you think?

It's time to slow down and admire some pretty things. Today: Virginia bluebells

Pictures of bluebells never capture the experience that is standing in the middle of an ancient bluebell wood. I rounded the corner and bang! there they are. The glow, the scent, the colour. Just fabulous.
If you can get out to see some, I would recommend it over just looking at pictures.
