From Robynn Reilly:
As of March 1, 2015 the hills east of Fresno/Clovis (especially Ashlan Avenue (east) are EXQUISTELY covered in carpets of white flowers and fields of mustard, interspersed with tiny purple blooms. There are even wide sprays of poppy fields on the higher foothills. All of this is splendidly arrayed on the most vibrantly verdant rolling foothills I have witnessed in years. And I have lived here my entire life. This is the year to see the foot of the Sierras if you’re coming for the blossom trail. With more rain on the way it is sure to push it out another week or two.
Natural History Wanderings 
In the early 1930’s I remember the solid colors clothing the mountains to the south, so brilliant the show that both sides of the two lane highway from Bakersfield to the mountains themselves were solidly lined with parked cars all of the way. Little did we know that it would be many years before such a phenomenum would happen again. Is this happening now. If so better make the most of it
