I found these salvia blooming along Highway 74 yesterday and stopped to take these photos. I heard bees and I discovered they were all over this salvia! ACK! But, I moved closer and closer and they didn't bother me, so I got these photos! :-) These were actually up by the Art Smith turnoff and trailhead, at the base of Highway 74, across from the Santa Rosa mountain visitor center, which just had its wildflower weekend.

I dedicate this blog to my father, who first put a camera in my hands when I was 12 and who took me to many of the places that I love today.

So pretty, and so cool to have "bees" on them. They usually don't bother you if you don't bother them. Well worth the stop for the shot. Mickie
