Mostly, California is only green for a short time, and that includes NOW.

First, there was green grass it the RV park in Blythe. Next, much of the Tehachapi Mountains were green.

And yesterday, wow! Yesterday tops it off in the jaw-dropping-beautiful department. I use Hwy 46 and 41 on my way to Morro Bay. I’m met with rolling hills of emerald green….but not only green! The wildflowers are blooming so I see huge swirls of orange and yellow and purple, and in places it’s dots of orange and yellow, and in other places there are swipes of purple. I’m not sure of the kinds of flowers. I can name California Poppies for the orange, mustard plants and shamrocks for the yellow, and Lupine for the purple. If there are others, I don’t know the names, I just call them Beautiful.

Pictures? No, sadly. The road is usually hilly and curvy and there is no shortage of traffic, and I’m just not feeling good about pulling over. I don’t feel my camera would do justice to the majestic beauty anyway.

The evening before we are at Bakersfield, at the Orange Grove RV Park again, but this time the trees are in blossom and the fragrance is heavenly. And, also there are still oranges so I pick some.

Presently, we are back to the ocean at Morro Bay State Park. Chalk up another swimming experience for Joy and Shiloh, out by the big rock. Back at our camp they are sandy, wet, hungry and tired.

Tomorrow we head north on Hwy 101 to the Monterey area, and the upcoming wedding shower! I’m looking forward to that!

While in town I’ll be fortunate enough to be able to hear Dr Will Tuttle speak. Will is the author of the book “The World Peace Diet”. Reading that remarkable book helped me on my path to living a vegan lifestyle.
