Yellow: The color of sunshine and smiles

On the way down to Pismo Beach for our Anniversary week-end we took a side trip to Carrizo Plain National Monument where I had heard there was Spring Super Bloom happening. To give you a little sense of where the Carrizo Plain is located in California I’ve copied Wikipedia’s description for you. “The Carrizo Plain is a large enclosed grassland plain, approximately 50 miles long, and up to 15 miles across, in southeastern San Luis Obispo County California, about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles.” ~wikipedia.org

You could see from miles away great swatches of yellow and orange on the hill sides, and I was so excited to see fields of flowers.

There were Coreopsis, Two-toned Tidy Tips, Goldfields which were mostly spent, Phacelia, and Baby Blue Eyes just to name some that I saw in abundance.

The field above was mostly Leafystem Coreopsis growing I think.  Here’s two more closer looks.

We hung around the Soda Lake area for a few hours, but I could have easily spent the whole day, but we also wanted to get to our final destination and be by the beach for sunset.

I hope you all have a wonderful week-end filled with smiles and laughter!

  1. Lovely. 🙂 I remember passing Pismo Beach during my one time in the USA, because ‘pismo’ means ‘letter’ (as in send or receive one) in Slovenian. Happy anniversary!

  2. I like this beautiful golden field, Deborah. Thanks for listing the pretty types of flowers which blend together into a fantastic vision. Thank you also for such a wonderful photograph. Have a special week leading up to the happiest of Easter’s, to you, the He-man and your family. 🙂

    1. Thank you so much Robin! He-Man said something about Easter being on Sunday and I was shocked it’s here or nearly here already! I thought I had another week! I have to get on that and get shopping!

      I hope you have a lovely Easter too!
