The Flower Fields

Also while in California, I had the great pleasure of spending the day with a photographer friend at the Flower Fields.  The flower fields were almost in peak season and there were ranunculus blooms of every colour as far as the eye could see.  What a treat for someone who enjoys photographing flowers.  Here are just a few from that day.

The San Diego Zoo

Even though it was April when we actually went to the zoo, I still thought I would share a few of our favourite animals with you.

Santa Monica Pier

While in Hollywood we decided to go check out the Santa Monica Pier.  It was extremely windy the day we were there, so the crowds were minimal, but I can just imagine how busy this place would be on a really nice day.

 

The view of the beach from the pier.

You can actually see the sand from the beach blowing around in this picture, which made going down on the beach itself very unpleasant experience.

The Santa Monica pier is also the end of the famous Route 66 in the USA. 

Hello Hollywood!

What trip to California would be complete without a trip to Hollywood to see the sign and the stars on the Walk of Fame.
