Throughout my career, @natgeo has always been an incredible example of showcasing the earth and the important stories that it has to share… so this assignment to document California’s super bloom following significant winter rainfall in 2023 felt a little extra special being so close to my home.

Chris Burkard Instagram – Growing up, California was mainly sunny beaches and coastal living to me – but as I got older and started to venture outside of my hometown of Arroyo grande, I started to realize that the State actually has a few really distinct ecosystems that captivated my attention. In 2017, I decided to take an 8 day road trip to dive deeper & spend some quality time climbing, surfing, and hiking to understand the diversity in a more immersive way.  I jumped in an old VW bus, with some friends and made our way to Alabama Hills to climb and camp in the desert. After a couple of nights, we moved on to the forests at the foot of the Sierra Nevada… home to some of the biggest trees in the world and continued to the northern sections of coastline to surf colder waters bordered by wetter, lush forests. Even though I’ve spent a ton of time exploring California, I still love finding new details in these ecosystems and will keep exploring them as long as I can.

Chris Burkard Instagram – Whether you’re in the deserts of Saudi Arabia deep in a snowy fjord in Iceland, or in this case climbing on the shores of Mallorca… sunsets with colors like these tend to make you stop in your tracks and pause. That moment, when we let go of focus, stress even in our current surroundings and spend time in awe of the natural beauty marking the end of the day is a point of unity in my mind. As humans, no matter our background – we can all agree that at one point or another, the magic of the natural world & sunsets captivated our attention for a short moment of bliss marking the end of a day…. and the beginning of a new one for those on the other side of the planet. I’ve been lucky to see many of them in my life & work… this image is from a particularly beautiful night shooting @ethan_pringle deep water soloing for @sonyalpha in Mallorca, 2021
