Sonoma Coast Wildflowers

Sonoma Coast Wildflowers takes place along Highway 1 on the Sonoma Coast. Sonoma Coast Wildflowers occurs every spring in Sonoma County.

Sonoma Coast State Beach is one of the main locations along the Sonoma Coast to experience Sonoma Coast Wildflowers. Sonoma Coast State Beach is not one beach, but many beaches. Many that cannot be seen from the main Highway of California Highway 1. The beaches are hidden in rocky coves, and beneath the tall bluffs of the Coastline. It is on these tall bluffs that you can see the Sonoma Coast Wildflowers

Wild flowers as in the Sonoma Coast Wildflowers photo define themselves. Wild flower means a flower that grows wild. They are not planted or intentionally seeded. Sonoma Coast Wildflowers are native plants that are unique to the environment of the Sonoma Coast.

Wildflowers along the Sonoma Coast occur in Spring from as early as March and sometimes into June. The Pacific Coast winter storms have drenched the soil with inches of moisture. As the warming temperatures from increasing daylight occur the coast will bloom with wildflowers. Many different species of wildflowers can blanket the bluffs above the Sonoma Coast.

Sonoma Coast Wildflowers can be a challenge to photograph. The winds coming off the Pacific Ocean will often cause movement of the flowers as a photographer tries to photograph them. This Sonoma Coast Wildflowers photograph was captured in the early morning of a Spring day when the winds were calm. The dew of an early morning can create a wonderful time of day to photograph Sonoma Coast Wildflowers.

The Sonoma Coast is a close drive from my home. I often find it a wonderful landscape to practice photography and experience the wild Sonoma Coast. The pounding waves, the rocky coast and the open bluffs offer a scenic palette. In the Spring the color of the Sonoma Coast Wildflowers add another subject to the scenery of the Sonoma Coast.
