Trailblazer, I don't have any shots of the whole field handy to post, but this one was last year. This is a small patch of the field just west of Shell Creek Rd. The entire field was ablaze just like this patch. At least 20 acres of this, and not a patch was barren of flowers. Every square inch was filled. In the 30+ years I have been frequenting Shell Creek, last year was by far the most spectacular.

BTW, great shots! I suck at macro photography so I really enjoy seeing yours.

Yeah it's one from this year.
Only a mile or so off of 58 on Shell Creek Road.
A photographer from another forum was there last weekend, he said the fields had been trampled....not the same as two weeks ago.

Beautiful shots! All of them! My flower photos are all in the desert.
