A winter of rain brought an amazing and long awaited Superbloom to California. One of the amazing places to experience this was right in our own backyard. The Cuyama Valley, adjacent to the renown Carrizo Plain, was a glory of colors and flowers from the end of March through May. Please enjoy the photos below to capture a sense of the joy and beauty.
