California Poppies
The super bloom is going off in the greater San Diego area! There’s a mountain biking spot out by Santee Lakes that’s called Mel Brooks Trail System. The names of the trails are Mel Brooks themed. There’s Blazing Saddles, Candygram, High Anxiety, and Space Balls to name a few. All of these pictures were taken there on Saturday April 6th and Tuesday the 9th.
Please let me know if I’ve misidentified any flowers. Enjoy!

Just beautiful! I was visiting my mom in March/April, the blooms & blossoms, even in the city, we’re amazing. Just loved it, so different from past trips!
