Spring Blossoms in California
As the winter turns to spring in California, the biggest signs of change would be the vast fields of wildflowers that would start to dominate the untouched wild-lands of the state. And with the bountiful rains this year, the wildflower spectacle is promising to be a good one.
One such location which I had thoroughly enjoyed visiting a few years ago was Knights ferry in the Sierra Nevada foothills, which was witnessing a California poppy explosion. Grassy, black oak lined slopes were carpeted by the blindingly bright bloom of the yellow poppies. Interspersed in between the mats of yellow were the ubiquitous bush lupine and the occasional blue dicks. But the overwhelming number of blooming poppies that had spread out across the entire river valley, made this vibrant display visible from a mile away.
