Winter rain feeds the
thirsty, parched soil.
Spring ushers in,
the favorable sunny weather,
and California turns into
a floral paradise,
super-bloom sometimes.
Mustard, poppy, lupine,
blue dicks, fuchsia, paintbrush,
and so much more,
make the landscapes into
stunning, colorful quilts.
One spring, we visited
Carrizo National Monument,
famous for California gold fields —
a sea of yellow
on the meadows,
by the alkaline lake
on the Temblor Range.
It was breathtaking,
as I stood there,
watching the plants sway
creating golden waves.
The flowers certainly know
to put spectacular show!
They bloom, delight
help create memories sweet,
and shrivel, to wake appear,
again the following year.
