Elkhorn Slough Ranch Properties

Some images from this past weekend on the Porter and Brothers Ranch properties in Watsonville.   Both are owned and managed by the Elkhorn Slough Foundation.   I spent Saturday afternoon scouting both locations for photo ops and on Sunday gave a tour to fellow photographers Efren Adalmen and his lovely wife Denise.  California poppies were out in full bloom and the lupine are not far behind.   About another 2 -3 weeks and the hills should be  a patchwork of purple.
