Photo by @FransLanting It’s spring in California and the poppies are blooming—and blowing in the wind on a hillside overlooking the Monterey Bay. This is a glorious season along the coast, especially after the welcome winter rains we’ve had this year. The land is emerald green right now; it’s a great time for photography, so this is when we host workshops at our studio in Santa Cruz where I’ve lived for more than 30 years. Follow me @FransLanting for more images from the Central Coast of California. @thephotosociety @natgeo @natgeocreative #California #MontereyBay #SantaCruz #Wildflowers #Photography #Beauty #Spring #Inspiration
