In the Anza Borrego Desert, which lies northeast of San Diego, spirals of yellow wildflowers with orange centers are happy little caps perched atop mint-green stems. They form a path welcoming the viewer into the scene and leading the way to an ocean of yellow-orange petals. At the horizon, indigo-blue and mahogany-red hills rise up. A string of fluffy clouds grazes their craggy tops. A swath of azure blue sky stretches itself out overhead, blessing the natural beauty below.
