Some of last month’s gems are starting to fade, but new ones are coming along to take their place. These are just a few of the flowers I saw yesterday. Some of the tiny ones really need a macro lens to do them justice, which I don’t have yet. One of these days … sigh …

I don’t know the botanical name for these flowers, but they can cover an entire field with their tiny flowers. Here is a closer look with a poppy.

(Note took down the ceanothus and buttercup photo as it did not seem to be loading properly every time I loaded this page.)

And who could resist a lupine backed by the ocean and mountains?

I have more, but it is too beautiful to be inside on the computer. Need some sun time.
