Visiting the Carrizo Plain

Hello, Over this past weekend, we went on an adventure to the Carrizo Plain to see the California wildflowers. Here is a brief description of the park.

The Carrizo Plain, 100 airline miles (160 km) north of Los Angeles, California is an area by-passed by time.

Soda Lake, its centerpiece, is a glistening bed of white salt, set within a vast open grassland, rimmed by mountains.

The plain is home to diverse communities of wildlife and plant species, and is an area culturally important to Native Americans.

It is traversed by the San Andreas fault, which has carved valleys, created and moved mountains, and yet close up, is seen in a subtle alignment of ridges, ravines and normally dry ponds.































The wildflowers were amazing, sprayed across the hillsides, as if they were a canvas and the wildflowers were paint. Beauty is all around us. Sometimes we need to look a little more closely to see it.

Now, I am off to yet another adventure. I'll be back in a few days. I hope all is well in your world and you are having an adventure too.

Smile and know you are loved.
