We spent the day wandering around the Carrizo Plain, in the cold, photographing the flowers. The yellows, especially, were vibrant. This is a place that is very scenic, especially with the carpets of yellow flowers,  but, in the end, limited. There are very few places to hike – the are several short paths, but nothing long enough to spend more than an half hour – because most of the area is grassland and the thought snake in the grass probably has some basis keeps coming up.

I would like to say that the following pictures are a few samples of the photos of the day but, really, the photos were pretty much all the same. (If you double click, they will get larger.)
