The California Poppy Reserve...
I am stuck on flowers these days. Flowers blooming in my back yard, flowers that are blooming in the desert. Now, I could write about the horrific ride yesterday; riding the Redline fixed gear bike home from work into a gale force wind, and I can show you a nice picture of the half-flat tire that made the ride so memorable. But, instead, I will show you pictures of Joshua trees in bloom, and pictures from the California Poppy Reserve 20 miles west of here. Once a year, the whole Reserve blooms to life in poppies and all sorts of assorted wildflowers. Kathy and I enjoyed a lovely outing hiking around the Reserve, enjoying the flowers and the hundreds of folks who came out to just walk and sit in the flowers!
That's it for Joshua Trees.. After this, just scraggly loooking for the rest of the year...
As far as the eye can see...
As far as the eye can see...
I can't remember what these are called...
So, once again, skip any pictures of bikes, and enjoy the poppy pictures. Of course, there might be an Andy picture or two here, too.
This cactus flower was in Tucson, where we went to play with...
Andy! So happy in the morning...
And playin in the pool...
And channel surfing...
