Diablo Range Blooms

On the way back from the desert, I drove state route 198 from Coalinga to the Salinas valley. On March 29, the flowers were spectacular here also. Here are some magenta poppies....just two here in a macro pic...

And a whole field of them. These are about 10-15 miles west of Coalinga.

In the same area there were white lupines...

And lots of blue ones. This pic was taken farther west than the others, toward the Salinas Valley.
