“But pleasures are like poppies spread,
You seize the flower, it's bloom is shed;
Or, like the snow-fall in the river,
A moment white, then melts forever.”

~Robert Burns

I went in search of meadows with purple flowers among the orange poppies and was rewarded with this ~ a ring of yellow mustards. And a contrasting sky with rain clouds to the south.

Due to the recent winter rains in Southern California, hillsides are bursting with colors of wildflowers. These hills especially are covered with mostly the poppies-California Flower. Soon the hills will turn brown unless we get more rains. Visitors are flocking to these hills by the thousands these past few weeks to witness this amazing phenomenon!

Hope you enjoy!

"Everything you could ever want if you wish to visit this area. The house is amazing and very well maintained. "

"The size of the house. More than ample room for our family (12 people). Loved the kitchen, great rooms and layout"

"Overall this was a great place to stay! Rooms were clean and spacious, pool/ backyard area is big and provides plenty of space! I would say the one downside was the spa was having difficulties heating up, however Neda was open and available to get that problem solved. I would recommend another option to get the spa heated consistently (it takes about 2 hours for it to heat up at intervals of 4 hours) and we were only able to really use it our second night after waiting for the heating. The fire...

"Great staff and beautiful property."

"We had an amazing experience at this property. The space was enormous and regal, offering the perfect setting for our event. The view of the lake, especially during the sunrise, was breathless! The property manager, Daniel, was incredibly responsive and helpful, promptly answering our numerous questions. The highlight of the experience was Daniel's outstanding assistance when we accidentally left a bag behind—he went above and beyond to ensure we got it back. We had a fantastic time and highly...
