Color photograph of spring flowers (larkspur, or delphinium) with seeds, and foliage. Almaden Quicksilver Park, California.

Photographed along a trail through a small canyon where I frequently hike and which I always return to each spring. I was intrigued by the combination of the purple flowers and the seeds on the curving stem.
