16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Admiring the native flowers of Monterey while on a hike.

This photo shows the natural beauty of flowers and how they light up our world with color. This native plant used to be foreign to Monterey. However, it has adapted and managed to fit in the diverse environment of Monterey. This sends a clear picture that no matter how out of place you are, you can always fit in. That is how nature works.
