These are Dune Primroses, other wise known as the Birdcage Evening Primrose or Lion In Cage. They attract moths by releasing their scent at night and are primariyl found in very sandy areas i.e. the Kelso Dunes The super bloom brought out more than just the poppies, the entire Mojave and Joshua tree area is green and alive with flowers and animals this year. I spent half the hike being pelted by moths, locust, and it her night bugs flying into my face. Thankfully the bats, night birds, and coyotes didn't take an interest in me. If you do want to go see the dessert painted with color make sure you stay on trail and practice #leavenotrace while hiking.

This is shot just as golden hour ended and blue hour starts. I had tried to hike up the dunes before sunset with Alo, but about three quarters of a mile he had decided he doesn't like soft sand and forced me to turn around to let him sleep in Cast Iron. Sadly a group of people had beat me up the dunes with my turn around and they sat right in the shot I wanted, but o'well that happens when doing landscapes. The panorama consists of 9 shots stitched together. ....
