Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.

~ Cecil Beaton

I have been wanting to get to these flowers for a few weeks now and finally made it today. Altho Google Maps said it would take about 2 hours, it ended up being closer to 3. Tehachapi is beautiful country and well worth it, though. It’s hard to keep your eyes on the road when everywhere you look is filled with color. If you want to find the wildflowers during spring in California there is a great site that tells you exactly where to go:  Carol Leigh’s Wildflower Hotsheet

If you’ve never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.
