Smashing Road Trip

A few weekends ago, C&H went on a photo roadtrip to a lush, desert State Park called Anza Borrego. Only 2.5 hours away from LA, it was a fun excursion to shoot spring wild flowers in bloom. Turned out to be more memorable than planned.



The town of Borrego Springs was not as impressive as its inviting sign and mini park oasis

We drove miles along twisting roads with views of boulder-littered mounds and valleys.

We were able to photograph some flowers, but a freak catepillar infestation had wiped out most of the crop.


Caught off-guard by these rusted-metal elephant sculptures in the middle of nowhere.

As the sun began to set on the drive home, a distracted army captain didn't anticipate the sudden traffic jam. He slammed into our bumper and us into a Ford Explorer ahead. No worries. No injuries. No drama. Just a punctuation to an unforgettable road trip.
