Photos of a green and blooming Baja
I have never seen as many flowers or the greenery that is now in Baja.
I hope many get a chance to see Baja this winter/spring.

Yeah, and you didn't even have to tweak the colors in your pics cause that's exactly what it looked like. You captured it beautifully.
I saw a lady collecting some of the yellow mustard grass (I think it's called) and wondered what they did with it?
Went wandering down an arroyo on one of our pitstops to investigate a red flower like in your last photo.
It really stood out against all the green. Maybe a sage(?) of some kind. Beautious.

Thanks to you all for the kind words. It is amazing to see baja so green and with so many flowers.
Oladulce...you are correct I only adjusted contrast. Boosting saturation with these pictures wasn't necessary.

You can cook with it or put it in salads. It's a little like spinach, but has a slightly bitter taste. My family tried some when I was little, I did
not really care for it at the time; but, I am only familiar with the black mustard Brasica niger which can grow up to 8 feet tall.
| Quote: | Brassica juncea or mustard greens are, as the name implies, the leaves of the plant which produces mustard seeds. Also known as gai choy, Indian or
Japanese mustard, or California pepper grass; the leaves can be flat, crumpled or lacy-edged.
One of the most pungent and interesting of all the greens, as well as a very generous source of vitamin A, mustard greens are widely used in French,
Chinese and Southern U.S. cuisines. Goes very well sauteed with chopped bacon and red potatoes, or simply stir fried in olive oil with a minced garlic
clove. |
