Canyon flora

When I arrived home, California was super green and "plump" with flowering wild life.

Discrete, but ubiquitous, the buck-brush, which I call wild lilac, is everywhere on the mountainsides.

what I see when I look at this is impassable hill climbing, as buck-brush is a trail-tender's bane.

another view, with more monkey-flowers included.  They, too, are ubiquitous.

The rocky sections have more of the yellow flowers all over them

I just love my 3-D world when it's spring!

more of the yellows

dried-spent miner's lettuce patch

looking down into Dogwood Ravine; this doesn't even half show how many there are down there

with my hand, to give perspective on the flower's size

clover and lupin

sorry, but I can't help loving these spills of color

this is a canyon wall right along the highway!

Local businesses are open for the season

the Town Hall Theater got a new, beautiful ticket booth out front

Rocki's California Sister Garden, one small area of it; where I purchased my tomato plants today!  Spring is here!
