Wildflowers

It has been raining so much this winter, that everybody said the California wildflowers were in full bloom and gorgeous. M and I decided to go for a drive on Saturday to see the flowers. Our original idea was to go to Anza-Borrego State Park, but I read in the Internet that there were a lot of people going there on weekends, and there were no rooms available in any area motels. So we decided to stay closer to home and go to Chino Hills SP . We took the SSR and went on our way. The Park is right next to a house development, but once you start driving on the unpaved road, is like being in a totally different place. It was beautiful! We saw quite a few hikers but not many cars. When we arrived to the end of the road, it had a spectacular view of hills and flowers.

Afterward we drove to Lake Elsinore, to see the California poppies. We stopped for lunch at the "famous" Tom's Farms http://www.tomsfarms.com/

All in all we had a very pleasant day looking at some beautiful California flora.
