Green and Yellow Mountainsides

We went hiking on the Weir Canyon Loop trail. The views of the mountain moved us – it felt so relaxing, healing, and rejuvenating. The California poppies are blooming: the orange and yellow color wildflowers made it a breathtaking experience.

Spring is almost here.

While the mountains are green thanks to the rain, now we see yellow wildflowers on the mountainsides. I think the flower bloom will be even more over the coming weeks, but the yellow patches in certain spots and an extra tinge of brightness in the morning sun added to the hiking experience yesterday. The morning sun was an angle, and the shades of the layers of hills in the distance added an excellent perspective, too.

The snow-covered Mount Baldy peaks in the distance added an excellent white highlight. The almost full water reservoir and houses snuggled within the mountains gave a beautiful perspective on one side.

If it is a super wildflower bloom this year as predicted, it will be even more fun to see mother nature doing wonders on the canvas of the mountain landscapes with mindblowing color strokes of the flowers. I am looking forward to it.

The weather is frigid and rainy for the Southern California norms. It snowed in the mountains, creating a unique backdrop of white behind the green mountains. The clouds brought their personality to the experience, too.
