Adventures on Hold

Because I've put my adventures on hold in the hopes of staying safe and healthy, you might not see any new posts or videos from me for a while. I hope the Wildflower Wednesday hiatus isn't going to be a long one and I hope to get out exploring beautiful Northern California sooner rather than later.

Until then, you can still enjoy my wildflower photography over on Instagram where I'll be sharing never-before-seen shots of my past travel adventures...

Be safe, flower friends! 😊

*All of my photos were taken before the coronavirus outbreak. I am now staying home and postponing my outdoor adventures to help prevent the spread/exposure of COVID-19.

Please be responsible and practice social distancing at all times and stay home whenever possible.

Possibly Pepperweed 🎕 Cosumnes River Preserve Wildflowers

Since starting this website for my wildflower photography, I've discovered how difficult it can be to identify the beautiful blooms I've found out in nature.

The four in today's post were all growing at the Cosumnes River Preserve in early-March.

I think they might be a type of pepperweed, but I don't know for sure. Any suggestions?
