This post showed some of the beautiful Central Coast along California Highway One. What was missing were photos of the flowers seen along the roadside... all taken on May 1st.
Wildflowers with a bee, just doing what a bee does.
This hillside, covered with creeping phlox and and California Poppy (the state flower of California) was beside a long drive up to someone's home - a home unseen from the road.
The sun was so bright, and the phlox was so bright, it seemed to be glowing.
On the other side of the highway were patches of more California Poppies. I don't think I had ever seen red ones before.
They were so fine and delicate looking.
I don't know what the pale purple flowers are that were growing on the fence row but they went for quite a long ways.

When we stopped here about 1 month prior, there were ONLY the poppies! WOW, you got a special treat!
I wish I was closer to the ocean and it's breezes and vegetation. Tucson has lots of sand....but no ocean.

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
