Carrizo Plain, California

I visited Carrizo Plain National Monument, a remote valley in California, this past weekend to see the current wildflower show. Unlike last month when I was there, there are now flowers covering the valley floor. The valley is also filled with a series of salt flats, the largest of which is Soda Lake - the flats have some water this time of year.

In the background of the image is the colorful Temblor range and the San Andreas fault, which runs through the valley.
