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.
