Southern California has received torrential rains this past winter, and the spring wildflower hill and desert  bloom is more spectacular than it has been for 20 years.

Gorgeous photo, Sandy. Well composed. The blue sky nicely complements the orange poppies. Sure wish I could have traveled out there for this event.

Gorgeous scene, Sandy. Wish I could get down south to see this show. Like the poppies in the foreground.

This is very pretty, Sandy. I'm ready for some green grass and wildflowers so this is quite pleasing to look at.

This is a really nice scene Sandy. I especially like the poppies up close. Nicely faded to the hills in the BG. Amazing how many flowers there were.
