My friend Scotty "C" and I just got back from a macro tour of Indian Valley and Inner Pasture. The wildflowers are blooming in Anza Borrego right now but you need to get down on your hands and knees to see them. There is so much life at the macro level in the desert. Scott and I started at the north fork of Indian Valley and headed up to False Sombrero. This is a very short distance of about 1 mile but it took us almost 2 hours, mostly due to my constant stopping to take pictures of all the different micro flowers blooming everywhere. We continued over the ridge and down into Inner Pasture where we found a spring, illegal traffic clothing, Indian Morteros, Indian Rock Carvings and even some Indian Pictographs. I even managed to lose Scott's $300 GPS and my camera screen cover along the way.

Check out all of our photos from the trip http://sefcik.smugmug.com/Photography/Anza-Borrego-Desert-State-Park/Indian-Valley-Inner-Pasture-03/16296710_uSEeV

Here are a few pics, most of the flowers I took pictures of were very small, just a few inches above the soil. Insects were everywhere and the colors on the Chuparosa and Ocotillo were crazy bright.
