Rode in a Jeep to the Poppy Preserve
Antelope Ridge California
Not alot of poppies - but a few were out!
The trail was one mile and a half and 300 feet up!
And back down!
Lots of flowers and lizards
And birds and stuff...
Hawks were all around us
Yay! I did it!
The biggest salad ever.... and a open-topped ride
Getting alot of sun these days!
Thanks, Annie for taking me out to the Poppy Reserve
in such style! It was so windy that I had to get a coat
to wear on the way back! Good night, bloggers!
Wish you could see it - it is a beautiful hike!
How polite of little Mr Hawk to pose for you, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI covet your life :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous pics as usual!!! and I love the poppy. I think Ive only ever seen pictures of red ones!
ReplyDeleteI would have never gone there on my own. Sometimes we need visitors to get us to explore our own back yards. That Antelope Valley is Huge...what a back yard! I guess back in the day the Antelope did play but not even one in sight. Looking forward to some more adventures today...hope I can keep up.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Anne the carb traveler :)
ReplyDeleteThese are the California Poppy...
ReplyDelete(orange = eschscholzia californica)
Not the so-called Opium Poppy!
(red = papaver somniferum)
They are also the State Flower for California!
Very small and very pretty!
Very nice, riding in a Jeep, enjoying the sun, communing with nature...hiking up big hills...what a life! You madam are a rock star!
ReplyDeleteBless your soles! :) Looks like a very nice hike.
ReplyDeleteLove it Anne. The flower is beautiful. Your hike amazing. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKeep enjoying your vacation. Take care my friend. God Bless!!
