The Flower Fields - Carlsbad, California

[Seefutlung]

50 acres of flowering Giant Tecolote Ranunculus are located in Carlsbad, California. A feast for the eyes, the camera sensor and one's memory.
My snaps can be found here:

A feast of colours, indeed!
And I reallyl ike how that one flower stands out because it is the tallest and you made this fact stand out even more by your focus on it in the second of your two example photos.

Wow, what a riot of colors!

WOW! That looks like a beautiful place. Does it bloom all year?

No, the FF are open to the public and bloom late March through early May. It is a working nursery.

The second one is great. I like the use of DOF.

Great photos, what a amazing site that must have been!

 

[Seefutlung]

Yes it is. It is only a few blocks from the freeway (Interstate 5 north of San Diego) on a slight rise ... so some of it is visible through the trees by the passing cars ... from the freeway it looks like someone emptied a paint store on the hillside.

Is this over by LegoLand?

 

[Seefutlung]

Yep ... Carlsbad isn't all that large so everything is by Legoland. I think for Legoland you get off an offramp north at Cannon ... The Flower Fields is Palomar Airport Rd.

The Flower Fields close May 13th.
