Our second attempt at photographing the wildflowers was a success!

A slight breeze was in the air, and overcast skies, which actually made for a great day lighting wise, to photograph the flowers.

Twenty-one members and five guests turned out for this trip that had been in the planning for months. We had three days and two nights to explore and photograph some of the most interesting places in the valley.

Most of us began the trip with breakfast at the Blue Bird and then caravanned up to Olancha, where we met up with a few more members of our group while we had another bite to eat.

Feb. 12 ­ Metrolink Trip to Union Station/ Olvera Street/ China Town
Led by John Shedrick and Duane Whitaker

We were unsure about this trip right down to the last minute.  Everyone was listening to different weather forecasts ranging from rain likely to clearing skies.

We decided to meet for breakfast at the Blue Bird.  The forecast seemed good and the sky looked promising, so twelve of us decided to go for it.  A few chickened out.

We had a good turnout for this trip which began with breakfast at Baker's Square.  Traffic was very light and we quickly arrived at the mission.  We had a total of 13 members and two guests making the trip.

We had a partly cloudy day and the temperature was just about perfect for being outside.
