Two California icons

Eschscholzia california (California poppies) Dry Creek Rd. Tulare County

It is spring and my wife and I recently visited two very special places; one to see the our giant sequoias in the snowy white of winter and second to see the great poppy explosion along Dry Creek in the Sierra foothills east of Visalia. Just thought I would post a link to them here

If you wish to visit anywhere in this lovely part of our state check out the informative and enticing website Tulare County Treasures. Here you will find lots of leads and ideas on places to visit to make your spring or summer an especially memorable one. It looks to me that it will be a wildflower bonanza in the Sierra foothills this spring and early summer.
