Oh my goodness the purple and yellow hillsides on the way home! It was in full bloom on the hillsides as we left Santa Clarita. This was in the Grapevine area, and I'm assuming it's likely lupines (the purple) and mustard (the yellow).
I don't know if it's going to be a particularly good year for wildflowers in Southern California or not, but it was pretty spectacular on the side of highway 5. Superbloom years are always interesting, the traffic gets crazy to the areas where the wildflowers are growing.
Off into the sunset we went. I don't usually get to take sunset photos, so even though it's through the windshield, I kind of had to. I like the reflection on the car hood. And yes, this is us in the HOV lane.
It was a long drive home, we broke it up into two days because it took almost 4 hours to get from San Diego to the north end of LA. Yikes! Thankfully there's a nice group of hotels in Santa Clarita that we've used before, it's a pain, but better (and safer) than driving for six more hours that night.
