Death Valley and Alabama Hills
Death Valley often sets heat records in the summer, but our time there in February was quite pleasant. Sunrises and sunsets and other landscapes photo during the day kept us busy. We were there just at the beginning of the Super bloom, so called because flowers bloom rarely.
