A Sure Sign of Spring


A sure sign of spring in San Diego is here. The flower fields in Carlsbad have been dormant for close to year, and now they are draped in color. You can barely see the fields from the 5 freeway, as the foliage alongside the freeway has grown so. You really have to get off at Palomar Airport Road to take a closer look, and you should. The best view for me, is from above the flower fields. Take Palomar Airport Road east to Armada Dr, and go north, for about 1/2 mile. There is plenty of parking and a nice area to walk, sit and enjoy the beauty of the flower fields.


Rinoculous must come in every color of the rainbow, and are planted to show the full spectrum of the color chart. On one side of the field the flowers are planted to make an American flag, stars and all. The fields are in bloom for about six weeks, so get over there and enjoy. I don't really think the cart ride through the fields is worth the money. The fields are like an Impressionist painting, much more beautiful from afar.
