“But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it's bloom is shed;
Or, like the snow-fall in the river,
A moment white, then melts forever.”

~Robert Burns

I went in search of meadows with purple flowers among the orange poppies and was rewarded with this ~ a ring of yellow mustards. And a contrasting sky with rain clouds to the south.

Due to the recent winter rains in Southern California, hillsides are bursting with colors of wildflowers. These hills especially are covered with mostly the poppies-California Flower. Soon the hills will turn brown unless we get more rains. Visitors are flocking to these hills by the thousands these past few weeks to witness this amazing phenomenon!

Hope you enjoy!

10/10 Excellent

"This was my 30th stay at the Mission Inn- it’s costly but so unique I keep going back. Every room is different. In early October they were starting to put up the famous Christmas lights that draw hundreds of viewers. Staying in the holiday season is something you need to do- I’ve done it about six times, it never disappoints."
