Let’s start off the week with some winter sunflowers blooming over at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary (aka “the marsh”). This is a piece of land owned by the Irvine water utility and managed by a local branch of the Audubon Society. Today’s picture was taken just after sunrise a couple of weeks ago.
