Wildflowers are also out. 04-29-11

Mary Leakey took this image at the St Francis Retreat in San Juan Bautista, CA.  At last it has warmed up enough for the lupine and poppies to bloom. 
 
This picture has gone around on the Internet for at least five years - it is the most awesome display of wildflowers I have seen.  It was taken somewhere on the Carrizo Plain National Monument.  About now I want to drive out there to see what is blooming, but I don't think Corky would enjoy it.  If you go, take pictures and share them.

That is so stunning. I can remember seeing vistas similar to this when we lived in N Cal!
