High Sierra Topix

Today, on our way back to Poway from Bakersfield, Robin and I took the I-15 route and stopped at Walker Canyon just outside Lake Elsinore. The poppies and other wildflowers are certainly going off this year in a big way. We had just a momentary hassle finding a parking spot but that was soon forgotten as we enjoyed the beauty of God's creation on display. It was well worth the stop

Lovely. we are headed that way soon!

Hey Richard, we just missed you, or perhaps not. We also went out today to avoid the weekend crowds, which must be insane. I have done the Lancaster and Anza Borrego fields in the past, and NOTHING matches this year. I could not believe how dense the poppies were, and the mixture of purple, blue-greens, whites and yellows was just beyond crazy. I also got to finally see close-up a painted lady butterfly (last picture). In Los Angeles we have seen massive numbers of these butterflies all over the city, like nothing I have ever experienced before. Perhaps nature has a chance after all.

That's a lot of plant genitals! I'm jealous!

Thanks for the wonderful shots!
Keeping my fingers cross that the higher temps will get things going booming in Carrizo in the next two weeks!

Let me know if you get any beta on that, especially in the Temblor Range!

Will do, Oleander, Jimr, and myself are planning to visit, if it is a superbloom at least rivaling 2017, maybe we can meetup.

Make a note though. The city has been closing down access because it was overrun. They even brought in law enforcement from other jurisdictions due to massive "invasion."
