Went back to Borrego Springs hoping to catch some desert flowers. They're out but a little sparse...maybe a little too early? And yep, the photo contest results are political. I didn't win but got photo of merit award. I went to see the winning photos hoping to see some spectacular ones, but was extremely disappointed. Most of them were fuzzy and out of focus and bad white balance, the rest were not that well composed. I only saw a few (two or three) that were decent. Oh well.....

Here are a few photos from the trip. Too bad it got cloudy late in the afternoon making the contrast sort of poor...still got a moody photo of a big oak tree near Santa Ysabel on the way back.
