Wild flowers on the CA Central Coast

We've had rain this year which means LOTS of wild flowers are now blooming.  Of course there is a name: "Super Bloom".  There has been lots of discussion as to when the peak will occur, but last Thursday I took time to drive out and view the scenery.  It was wonderful!

I drove out Highway 58 past Santa Margarita to Shell Creek Road.  although it was lightly raining (barely had to use the wipers) the flowers were amazing.  Because of the rain, and it was a weekday, it meant a much smaller crowd.  I then drove further to Carrizo Plains National Monument.  I had never been there and even without flowers the scenery was beautiful.  Soda Lake was calm so the reflection of the clouds in the water made for great photography.

It was a great day!!

Thanks for checking in.
