Last Thursday I had a day off. I ran errands in the morning then Larry came home for lunch. We hiked just half a mile up Cowles Mountain in the San Carlos section of San Diego. Larry's been up it a few times on his lunch break. I came up on a cluster of California Poppies and said, "Ooooo." No, just you wait! he said.
At about the half mile point are little fields of the yellow poppy. I took pictures facing the mountain and then turning around to overlook Lake Murray. Our house is a little bit more left of the red dot. We walk to and partly around the Lake, but it's more of a hike to the mountain before you even start your climb, so sadly we drive there. An oxymoron, as I see it.
