Baby blue eyes flowers, San Luis Obispo County, California.
These small flowers, in the right light, can produce a nearly-fluorescent blue color — a hue that is almost unbelievable in the natural landscape. They were growing all over California’s coastal and inland oak and grassland areas this spring.
I photographed this set of flowers on a drive through a backroads area of San Luis Obispo Country, but I probably could have stopped any of 1000 other locations and found something similar. These specimens were growing in an immense meadow that was filled with all sorts of flowers.
