A Riot of Spring~

In rain soaked (tap to enlarge),

Southern California.

The Carlsbad Ranuculus Fields,

are a blooming,

glory.

Spring is dancing,

blooms are bursting,

plants are happy,

and birds are singing!

Sending California’s blooming beauties to you,

with Cheers and Hopes for Happy Spring ~

    1. It is such a riot of stunning beauty! It’s like what The Bard said in Cymbeline “These flowers are like the pleasures of the world.”

      Thank you for bringing the pleasure to the rest of us!

      Were all the photos taken in Southern California?

      1. I love Cymbeline. My husband and I saw it performed at The Old Globe about 10 years ago. Flowers are truly “The pleasures of the world!” Thank you for sharing the wonderful quote and yes, all the photos were taken in The Flower Fields in Carlsbad in Southern California.

    1. Happy spring my friend! We’ve been enjoying the wet sunshine all week as we celebrated my daughter’s wedding April 1st! Not only do those ranunculus fields look amazing, so do the hillsides along Hwy 15 with all the blooming poppies and daisies. Enjoy the views!

      1. It is gorgeous isn’t it! Blooms bursting out everywhere. The earth ‘singing with flowers.’ Congrats to your daughter and to you! Give her all my best wishes დ

    Magnifique, aux Pays-Bas il y a Keukenhof, un parc très fleuri avec des milliers de tulipes, de jacinthes… si vous n’avez jamais vu, je vous conseille, au printemps c’est magique.

  2. Oh look at the colorful birdies – no wait, those are flowers, not birds! Riot as someone said, those being my wild favorites, all stirred up. Once who had a neighbor who’s garden was just like that – I liked. Thanks for the “show”; never been south of LA. Only question – where’s the bees? (I looked.) Nice nice job Cindy.

  3. Hi Cindy
    we especially like your last picture. Beautiful flowers, aren’t the? We have never seen a field of Ranuculi before.
    Thanks and cheers
