Description
February showers make March wildflowers in the desert parks and create yet another reason to explore this beautiful state! I was one of the thousands to visit the Arizona Picacho Peak State Park, as wildflowers burst onto the scene. Especially the Mexican gold poppies, the comeback kid has made its triumphant return.
The wildflower season of 2019, is exploding, with these "Shimmering Poppies!" I felt black and white photography showcased the lovely, beauty of the petals against a dark background.
Far from being a desolate, barren land, the Sonoran Desert has a rich abundance of life. Inviting you to come and explore the desert, and discover some of its beauty.

Janet Marie replied:
Yes that is true. I love the lights and shadows, the contrast as well. In this case showcasing the soft beauty of the petals against the dark background. Thank you for noticing my love for this medium. Not all photography is conducive to showing off the image at it's best in black and white. So I pick and choose what I find deLights me. I appreciate the like and fave too!
