One of the delights all along Black Mountain Road are the manzanita. With all the water this year, most of them are loaded with bloom. Depending on our altitude (this varied quite a bit over the course of the day), we caught them anywhere from just beginning to bud to absolutely bursting with bloom. The species found on Mt. San Jacinto are different than the ones we have, just 150 miles south (but much lower altitude). The species I photographed all day long was my favorite, with bright red or pink flowers than any of our four species have.
