'M' is for Mustard Meadows
The area of Palos Verdes Nature Preserve that burned in last August's fire is recovering well, in full living color. The same area after the fire is shown on the Land Conservancy web page: pvplc.org/land/portuguesebend.
You are up late this evening! Thanks for stopping by. I'd forgotten how beautiful the mustard could be. We were a dry place, but spring could bring out the best in us. - Margy
As a kid I was told that the Spanish expeditions sowed the mustard seeds to mark the trails for those who would follow later. Do you think there's any chance that story is true? Wouldn't it be cool if it were?
I like the way you framed this image with the flowers in the lower portion of the photograph. They're so subtle against the riot of color in the mid ground. I love Palos Verdes.
That web site of the preserve is not user friendly. It would be great if they included a google map

Oh, that is pretty! Far, far nicer than our own man-made square yellow fields of oilseed rape!
Such a stunning view of the countryside! Living colour indeed!
What a breathtaking recovery. Wonderful!
Wonderful!
What beauty is recreated after the devastation. Just lovely, Tash.
That is an incredible recovery! Gorgeous shot, Tash! Love the colors! They're so rich! Hope your week is going well!

Lovely, enticing photo, Tash.

Nature wins! Oakland, I heard that story, too. I hope it's true, I love it.
Nature heals itself and this one is a great example. Happy Wednesday!

Amazing regeneration.
I know sometimes they do controlled burns arouned here for that very reason.

What incredible shades of yellow-green. Beautiful.
Isn't it wonderful how nature can restore itself after a devastating event? Lovely shot.

I'm guessing from your title this is wild mustard seed plant? Lovely yellow!
How beautiful those Mustard Meadows...and of course that ocean in the background. A perfect M.
Really incredibly beautiful vision: thanks, wonderful pictures!

It almost looks like a landscape out of a fairy tale.
Like a magic carpet!
We are so fortunate to live in such a beautiful area! Great capture!

Oh so beautiful!
I love how you framed the picture with the row of flowers at the bottom and the sea at the top.
I am writing this while it is raining and grey in grey here.
