This morning I said to myself, "Self...

let's go for a Sunday drive!"

I woke up and there was an excellent article in the Sunday SacBee about best places to go see wildflowers, so off I went up the Jackson Highway, and turned off at Sloughhouse where some freshly plowed fields looked great. Then off at Michigan Bar Road, where the flowers lined the road on both sides... enjoy.

Ahhh.. these are breathtaking. I haven't been out of the city in a while, though in childhood had many many meadows and hillsides to choose from. Ahhh. ps: the ones with the fence and tree in the background are especially exquisite and deep :-)
