Great patches of the colorful Madia elegans greet me each morning as I drive through American Valley along Quincy Junction Road. I'm having fun photographing them from different angles, including from behind. The early morning low sunlight makes them glow. Then, on my way home in the afternoon, they're all closed for the day and no yellow is seen. But other yellow spashes are still there - Klamath Weed or St. Johns Wort, Yellow Sweet Clover, and Mullein. Seems like the dominant flower color in later summer is yellow. I wonder why that is.
