The Flower Fields of Carlsbad and La Jolla Shores Beach

Carlsbad, a coastal town north of San Diego, was on our agenda for today.  We wanted to see The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch.   We had a little trouble finding it and when we asked for help, a young man we questioned answered, “It’s up ahead on the left.  But there are no flowers any more.”

Fortunately he was wrong.   There were indeed flowers!  In fact the attraction boast having 50 acres of brightly colored ranunculus flowers.  We had another gorgeous day with sunny skies and in the 70’s,  so walking through these flowers was delightful.

There was also a maze made from sweet pea flowers.   We thought it would be fun so we tried it.   It was not fun!

How on earth do we find our way out of this maze of sweet peas?

California beaches are sure different from the Jersey shore!   With rolling hills, cliffs, palm trees, bright blue water, and gold flecked sand, we took in the sights like kids in a candy shop.   Even our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches tasted great!

  1. Thanks for following. Sure could have used your help. I fought with the program trying to get the pictures placed where I wanted them. Frustrating!
