Matilija (pronounced muh-till-i-hah) poppies are amazing flowers. Â They bloom all at once, have flowers about 5″ in diameter, and can stand over 6 feet tall. Â Impressive when you have vast swaths of them. Â This year’s crop is magnificent!.

The local botanical garden is filled with new growth. Â Vines, trees, shrubs, bulbs are in bloom. Â Birds and lizards and coyotes are to be seen, and the squirrels are fatter than fat. Â I was walking home from my visit when a rustling caught my ear . . . this guy was just bopping around within feet of me, and luckily I could get his portrait before he flew off to explore new territory. Â This is a Dark-eyed Junco.
