Spring Sprang Sprung

The fields and hiking trail at the end of our street are our hang out. We walk Cole their nearly every day and if he ever gets out, that's exactly where he heads.

Right now it's abloom with the springy-ness that's so pretty. Ashlyn and I took some pics with my phone because everywhere we turned, there were more flowers that weren't there before.

Look closely, teeny tiny purple flowers carpet the ground.

Wild flowery bushes everywhere


Wild Cucumber - very strange porcupine pods filled with white bubbly goo and giant green bean-like pods. Poisonous. They are fun to stomp on though.


Foxtails
Looks like a meadow of wheat

Bee-Lovin' Bush

Rosemary

California Golden Poppy

My Sunshine

Sweet Alyssum

Pink geraniums back at home at the end our walk. I love Spring.
