Beautiful :nod:
If it looks like that in your area I wonder how things are shaping up here in the Antelope Valley on the west side.

Nice, thank you. Some variety of white flower is blooming so thick here, it looks like snow, 3' deep.
Piece of cake.

Ahhhh... great shot! Good to see the wildflowers! Are they blooming big time all over the place already? I haven't been following any wildflower reports yet, thought it'd be a little early still.

I can't remember the wildflower reports page... can someone provide a link? Gracias!
It's all about the WILDERNESS!!!

WOW! Hard to believe flowers are blooming like that. I spent last weekend in a snowstorm in Mammoth that didn't stop til we left at 7pm. Nice shot, WW!

Nice shot. S.F. Peninsula is displaying lots of mustard/sorrel so far, need a few more warm days for others to show.
