The California Poppy is a favorite of mine, too. Lucky for me, they grow wild everywhere around here!

Now I’m suffering from bloom-envy – that you can go out and capture all those beautiful flowers, while my tulips can only shiver, apart from the kitchen ones that is. Thanks for stopping by my post.

Beautiful colours, and so lovely to see Springtime in your part of the world. Here in North Wales we still have the last vestiges of late snow blizzards and as yet no sign of Spring. So lovely to share yours. Bless you.

Oh so beautiful! You are so lucky to live in California! We just got back home from spring break in Montana and it is so ugly and brown here in MN. Not a single sign of Spring yet! Thanks for brightening my day! 🙂

I’ve been enjoying your Montana posts! And, well, Minnesota is notoriously cold. 🙂 Hang in there… Spring will arrive before you know it!

Thanks! Last year we were spoiled and by mid-March we had 80 degree weather and an early spring. This year, it is slowly coming around. Should be here soon though and then everyone goes crazy as it comes to life here! 🙂
