  • The Fields are Alive with the Green of Spring

    After two months with at least a sprinkle of rain every day, the sun finally came out to play around the First of March!   When it did, it was apparent that the hills and any place where there had been brown grasses had turned green with all the rain.  I took the camera out for a ride, with the idea of taking green photos -- the green is a bright spring emerald green these days!  The locations of these photos are all places I've been many times before -- those who have followed me for any length of time will recognize them.

    At home on this particular day, the sky was a brilliant blue.  When I reached the coast highway, one side remained blue, and the other was shrouded in thick soupy fog!  The next two shots are of Dana Point Harbor from the top of the hill (can you see the breakwater in the right side of the next shot?).

    And it wasn't possible to see the inland side of the marina!

    In the spring after a rainy winter, we often see lots of wildflowers.  They usually begin with yellow daisies.

  • I noticed the flowers right away! Almost looks like Indiana in the spring! Of course we have snow on the ground right now... Love the canyon photos.

    • This is the first time in a long time that I remember seeing that canyon so green! I looks like it will be a beautiful spring, if a little early!

  • The mountains are beautiful. I remember driving through some beautiful green hills out there near the San Andreas fault line? I think heaven will look like that. :)

    • The San Andreas Fault is several hundred miles long -- during the spring, most of the ares it goes through are likely to turn green. And this year's green is almost an emerald green -- so beautiful!

  • I am so glad to see all that green out there!
