Why do they call it a "desert&quot ;? Those are gorgeous photos. Thank you.

Congratulations on being featured. I love the orange/gold of the poppies, we only see them occasionally in Texas. I have been photographing bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes - the blues and the reds, spring is a wonderfully spectacular time isnt it? You can see my spring albums in community if you wish. Ann.

Wonderful shots! I grew up in poppy cournty, and I miss them now. Your pictures take me back home, and it's a wonderful trip. Thank you. May I also say, I agree about the frames, they take a lot attention away from the photos. Love the close ups!

said barbs 2001.11.24 at 09:17:28 PST

You have some very beautiful pictures of desert wildflowers. We have visited California's high country but not the desert. It seems we missed a great deal but still love the mountains more. There are gorgeous wildflowers there too. I have many albums here of our summer trips. Take a look sometime.

Hi Nev. Great album you've got here on the desert colours!!!! Thanks for dropping by and in Lake Tahoe. I have never been there.... My husband went to California for a congress, bought me a dgital camera in California, toured around with it (without me) and brought back these lovely photos! I have a new camera since a month... Nikon Coolpix 8700 an elegant little beast of a camera!!! New album is coming up; I will let you know! Greetings Anna

said annaoldenhave 2004.05.11 at 07:42:32 PDT

Your photos are absolutely stunning. The colors of the desert in flower are just spectacular. Fortunate you are to see the beauty and capture it on film to share with all. Tks for the fab photos, and the great photography. Loved them all. Em from Aussie

said emphotos103 2004.05.25 at 05:12:11 PDT

Hello Nev..... WOW.... such beautiful colors! I have enjoyed this album so much. Did you made them with the DSC F828??? Great camera isn't it? I have an DSC F717 and I am very satisfied with it, but 8 megapix.... YES... I am going to save money for it!!! Greetings, Diana.

said dianawiersma1 2004.05.25 at 08:36:07 PDT

Hi! What fantastic desert wildflower photos! The colors are spectacular. I'm afaid that whenever we were anywhere near the deserts of Californina it was just too hot to enjoy them. We always headed for the mountains & the high country. Where we would usually freeze! Got snowed on in Mammoth Lakes & also in Lassen Nat'l Park in July! Glad you enjoyed my Favorites album. I probably should put more into that one as so many places became favorites! Thanks again for sharing. Flo

said florock 2004.05.26 at 12:56:37 PDT

Wow , i just have to see that for myself now .. Seen in in late winter but it was never that beautiful , Thanks for sharing , gee you must have good brakes on that bike to stop that often ..or do you need to replace them after every trip...Keep it up ... Shirley

said home_base 2004.07.11 at 15:44:01 PDT

Really enjoyed flipping through this album, Mojave has such a diverse dramatic landscape and you captured such awesome sites with your camera. It sure made me want to discover that area all over again and go crazy with my camera!!! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful subject!

said kester110 2004.07.21 at 03:09:21 PDT

Gorgeous photos! I didn't know that lupine would grow in the desert southwest. I saw wonderful lupines in the Lake Superior area of Wisconsin, but it's very moist there. Perhaps it's the altitude in California? You have some lovely places to explore and photograph. Charlotte in El Paso, TX

said barnchaser 2004.07.26 at 10:19:47 PDT

You would never think that there is such beauty in a desert, but you have done a wonderful job showing us just how pretty it can be. the scenery pics are awesome. I love your flower album too! Thank you for taking the time to sign my album, Dam's,Creek's and Fall Colorshow. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I had a lot of trouble with my computer. Thanks again! Vicky

said quirkyartist 2006.01.28 at 19:10:57 PST

Hello Nev, I have been neglecting Webshots this winter. So I thought I would take a peek at one of your albums. Do the wild flowers grow there in the desert in the spring or the year round? Your photos are very pretty. I bet this is some sight to see. i will come back and pick one for one of my favorite photos. Take care friend... Darrell

said worldwide1001 2006.03.20 at 01:28:36 PST

A belated congrats on the feature. Well deserved. I can see a subtitle applied to this album...Californian Heaven, as it sure looks it to me. Great stuff. Best wishes from Ron.
