“But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it's bloom is shed;
Or, like the snow-fall in the river,
A moment white, then melts forever.”

~Robert Burns

I went in search of meadows with purple flowers among the orange poppies and was rewarded with this ~ a ring of yellow mustards. And a contrasting sky with rain clouds to the south.

Due to the recent winter rains in Southern California, hillsides are bursting with colors of wildflowers. These hills especially are covered with mostly the poppies-California Flower. Soon the hills will turn brown unless we get more rains. Visitors are flocking to these hills by the thousands these past few weeks to witness this amazing phenomenon!

Hope you enjoy!

"The location was perfect, the accommodations were very comfortable "

"Kenny’s property is beautifully remodeled and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much."

"We absolutely loved how comfortable this place has been and how friendly the owner was. "

"We walked in and the place was still decorated for Christmas. The windows were very dirty the same with the laundry room. The towels were very dingy. The kitchen had no mixer no measuring cups no mixing bowls. The grill ran out of propane in the middle of making a tri tipiWith no extra propane. It would be helpful to have a full length mirror and info on things to do in the area and good restaurants. There were no directions for the TV. Couldn’t even watch the Super Bowl. We have been to many...

"We had a great time staying at the SurfView! They had everything you need for a nice stay and it was super close to the beach. You also get your own parking spot which is really nice. Thanks so much! "
