SBDigitalarts.comHere are three links to some amazing photos and videos from the fires ravaging Southern California.
All three links contain amazing images. Good job to all the photographers.
So, I see that our good Mother Earth decided to bounce you So Cal folks on her knee yesterday and remind you that you live in earth quake country 
How many of you felt it?
If you’re looking for something to do this weekend and feel like taking a drive, the deserts of Southern California may be the place to head to. The wildflowers are in full bloom right now with spectacular color displays.
Michael Gordon has posted a 60 mile desert driving tour on his web site. Here’s the intro to the post.
If you’ve never seen California’s vast and ephemeral displays of spring wildflowers, you’ve been missing out! Now is the time, and I mean NOW! As of Monday, March 10, many areas of the California desert are at peak color and form, and in some places, the flowers are already dwindling due to lack of recent precipitation and climbing temperatures.

Got a couple of updates for you. The Dogwoods in Yosemite Valley are blooming nicely. Dan from the CalPhoto group just spent Friday and Saturday there and he reports that there are nice blooms around the Bridalveil Falls area and along the south side of the valley. He also said that the nicest blooms were in the Curry Village area and in some of the campgrounds. He thinks that the best is yet to come and that next weekend will be the peak time for Dogwood blooms in Yosemite Valley.
I also got a report from Marina that the Gorman area is pretty nice right now. Not as nice as in the past, but for this year, pretty good. She said there are Poppies and Lupines blooming up in the hills in the area where the fire was last August.
