Marin Headlands Walk
Wildflowers are blooming


Considering that the terrain is breathtaking, the Marin Headlands are surprisingly unphotogenic. Rocky hillsides covered with heather offer few contrasts. But the flowers are out!


The state flower shows its face.


More flamboyant blooms


Once in a while, there was a bank of color beside the trail...


...then something more delicate.

Hi janinsanfran,

I followed you over from K/O's place. And I have to tell you how much I love the flowers. I grew up in Marin and totally envy people who can go there anytime they want.

(now back to seeing what else you've written about)

Great photos; the headlands are awakening from a long, wet winter. Visit my article on an interesting flower which grows only in Marin.
