Description

Hillside daisies (Monolopia lanceolata) blanket the rolling hills of the Temblor Range in dazzling golden yellow like a velvet tapestry in south-central California.

This spectacular view is looking eastward on Highway 58 during the Golden State’s 2019 “superbloom”.

With only minor editing adjustments, the colors shown here are how they appeared in early April during this rare blooming phenomenon which happens on average once every 10 years.

While photographing the wildflowers, it is so good to be out in God’s awesome creation, with only the sounds of the wind and the song sparrows singing their praises to the Creator.

“For behold, the winter has past,
the rain is over, it has gone.
Blossoms appear in the land,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtle-dove
is heard in our land.”
Song of Songs 2:11-12

Artwork notes:

Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ ב ס " ד ] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
