14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
artichoke blooming

Our family did a road trip, driving from San Fransico to Big Sur, CA. The ocean views were spectacular and I took many ocean photos. However, my favorite photo was of an artichoke blooming. It was in a ceramic pot outside a Mexican restaurant. I think it is stunning. I had never seen an artichoke in bloom before.
