2009 California Spring Wildflowers

March 21 2009

California Poppies and Lupine flow like river into the landscape

A beautiful spring day in Southern California, where rivers of flowers flow through the landscape

Fields of Poppies, Lupine and many other varieties of native wildflowers in bloom

Poppies, Lupine and Popcorn weave tapestries of delight

It was hard to stop photographing and continue hiking

Colored with life

Countless acres of California Poppies, Lupine and a variety of other native wildflowers

Sweet fragrances float in the wind

Fiddlenecks, popocorn, lupine, owls clower and poppies

Painted with a full palette of colors

Mixture of Owls Clover, popcorn and Lupine, such a delight

Owls Clover, Lupine and Popcorn, a perfect combination

The landscape was captivating

A vast field of Blue Dicks, waving in the afternoon breeze
