Sometimes the drive down is lovely, especially when the hills are covered with bright green or bright yellow. With all the rain we had this past winter everything was emerald green in February, but now the green is almost gone and everything is back to the normal sort of camel color with the grey skeletons of the dead and dying spring weeds. It can be partially foggy almost anytime of day.
The beautiful Morman Temple right on the highway is sometimes brilliant white, but on cloudy or foggy days it is various shades of grey.
Not sure what this is, but violet is not a wildflower color we see very much of.
And there is always traffic going both north and south. .
This light yellow field is all wild mustard.
Whereas this is almost all sunflowers.
Of course, on the other side, the west side, of the highway is the Pacific Ocean which differs in color every time I look at it.

Love your pictures of the drive to SD. I was born in San Diego and lived in the L.A. area for many years and miss it all so much. Those jacaranda trees were gorgeous, as well as the smell of the eucalyptus trees and we had many in PV where we last lived but also so many other colors abounded and all year. That is what I miss, the fresh ocean wind blowing each afternoon in PV and the colors we could enjoy all year. Thank you for giving me these memories.
