일요일 산행 참석치 못해 오랜만에 글로 뵙습니다.

어제 오전에 들린 Walker Canyon Trail 사진들 share합니다.

Searching for tiny ones hiding in grasses.
Samsung S9 was the perfect tool to catch them with
little help of a tripod which I used as selfie stick in most of time.

Nice colors
showed up after few hundred yards from the trailhead; this shot was taken in
returning walk back on 11:00AM.

Somehow, color was more vivid in the shadow at about
8:30AM. This shot was same area of the previous photo, as comparison of
contrast.

The 1st impression of poppies which was about to waking up at
morning shine.

Filaree among poppy field.
Erodium cicutarium (Geraniaceae), commonly known as Redstem
filaree, Common stork\'s-bill.

It was exciting to see that a cool morning sun shined
thru the petals of them. 
Phacelia campanularia (Boraginaceae(물망초과)),
as known as Canterbury bell.

Bird-eye gilia was \"really\" hiding in the
highest peak area of the canyon at the occasional but strong breeze.
Gilia tricolor (Polemoniaceae (Phlox family)), common name is
Bird-eye-gilia.

This little guy gave me a pain
in my lower back since it was hard to take a photo due to its size, color and a
constant moving on slightest wind changes. Besides, powdery stuff in such well designed
anti-reflection texture of the petals also worked as \"stealth shield\"
against my auto focus beam of the camera.

Saltugilia (Polemoniaceae, phlox family), aka Splendid gilia.

Nice collection of variety for goodies in rocky summit.

Few of Goldfields found.
Lasthenia californica (asteraceae), comPopular Blue dicks in rocky trail.

Dichelostemma capitatum (asparagaceae),
aka Blue dicks.

Also, wishbone bushes were abundant in
such dry/rocky area.
Mirabilis laevis (Nyctaginaceae(분꽃과)) , known as Wishbone bush
or Four O\'clock flower.

A view towards the trailhead nearby 15 freeway from relatively rugged hill.

Chia added an unexpected flavor of such heavy
violet colors which contrasted against strong poppy\'s yellowish red petals in
the field.Salvia hispanica (Lamiaceae, 박하과), known as Chia.

Bright sun ray sears thru the Four O\'clock flowers.

Mirabilis laevis (Nyctaginaceae), also known as Wishbone bush.

Mesmerized at such a contrast colors even
with popular species like lupine in this environment. 

 Lupinus excubitus (Fabaceae(콩과)), Lupine.

One of my all time favorites is back for this season...
Nemophila menziesii (Boraginaceae(물망초과)), as commonly known as Baby blue eyes

Another hidden treasure among poppies.
Senecio vulgaris (Asteraceae), commonly known as
Groundsel.

Another guy who gave me a severe(^_^)
back pain. 

Not easy to take a shot at it. Bright/strong yellow color with such round shape and size were blamed to such stealthness.
Lotus corniculatus (Fabaceae, 콩과), commonly known as Bird-foot-trefoil.

 A tiny/tiny ones.
Claytonia perfoliata (Montiaceae), aka Miner\'s lettuce.

A friend of phacelia quietly resides in shady curb of trail.

Reminded me a sweet vanilla ice cream all day after encountered this guy again after a year.
Platystemon californicus (Papaveraceae), aka Cream Cups.

Baby blue eyes in glass field.

A view again at the end of hike.

Suncups in suny muddy hills.

Still early for Brittlebush in this area, I guess. Encelia(Asteraceae) aka Brittlebush.

My heart was suddenly beating in fast pace; I believe this was the most enchanting color of wildflowers.
Calandrinia ciliata (Montiaceae), aka Red Maids.

A short break at the one of the rocky hillside.

Bird-foot-trefoil.

Phacelia cicutaria (Boraginaceae(물망초과)),
aka Caterpillar Phacelia.

Some kind of mustard.  Brassicaceae.

One of the most popular wildflowers of the season in southern
California.

My eyes were pleased on the sight of Popcorns among red/yellow
poppies.

Trail was relatively crowded all morning.

Found them near the trailhead by I-15 freeway.
