They Don't Call it the Golden State for Nothing


What a gift I received yesterday.

We were out on our afternoon hike and we rounded the bend and we all immediately stopped in our tracks. The view had changed from the day before. The hills in the distance were a bright orange.....with California poppies.

I tried to zoom in as much as I could to show it more clearly but this was the best I could do.

Overnight the hillside had transformed into a carpet of golden poppies.

I have lived within two miles of this wonder and have never seen it so beautiful in 29 years.

Amazing.
