Nature is so incredible.
From this gorgeous seed pood...
(complimentary color scheme)
to all of these flowers in Lake Elsinore, Ca.,
Jim and I just had to take a car ride today to see it all.
We drove thru the Santiago Mt. range where just last year we had the terrible fires so close by.
But because of all the rain we've recently had and that will continue into this week,
the hills are alive with poppies, mustard greens, lupine
and so much more.
The trees that were burned to crispy critters are coming back
because their roots received water to keep them going.
We have an over the top snowpack up in Northern California
so we are now officially out of our drought though we all continue to conserve water.
It's what we've been trained to do here in the Southland.
And I believe it's a habit I hope we will all continue.
I read today that the super bloom is so vibrant it can be seen from space.
Amazing!!

Beyond amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have never in my whole life here in California seen it this amazing!
DeleteGorgeous! The seed pod, the hills--a gift after the drought.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Jen, it is such a gift!
DeleteThe pictures are so amazing I can hardly imagine what it must be like to see them in real life. And that last picture is a study in how good nature is at secondary colors!
ReplyDeleteLooking at it all just makes you want to break out into song "The hills are alive with the sound of music"
