Photos: The Anza-Borrego Super Boom is pretty darn breathtaking

A once-in-a-decade Super Bloom is taking place in Anza-Borrego. And while the LA Times reports that the place is packed with people who want to see it, these pics sure make the drive and dealing with the crowds and traffic seem worth it.

These beautiful desert flowers needed just the perfect condition to come out like this. And it doesn't happen every year.

It was hard to capture the sweeping fields of wild flowers in the desert but the air smelled sweet and it was incredible ????????????

A wildflower "super bloom" is erupting in a Southern California's Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, where the winter’s rains brought an early bloom of the park’s wildflowers. Michael Zandy (@zandtrick) went out early Saturday morning to get this sunrise shot. See his account for more stunning nature photos.
