Santa Rosa Blooming

The photos in this post are from April, 2010. Though I prepared them for the blog, I didn’t post them (and don’t remember why). The forecast for wildflowers this year seemed very good, but the bumper crop never materialized. For a related post, see A Quick Scout.
 



The scenes are beside a gravel pullout on Sage Road between Hemet and Aguanga, California.


My riding group uses the pullout for a rest stop whenever we ride Sage Road.


A few years ago, the wildflower blooming was quite thick in the Santa Rosas, and particularly strong at this spot. The photos above are what I could see of the relatively thin blooming this year.
