Walker Canyon Trailhead - Lake Elsinore - California - Super Bloom 2019 (Mid-March) Breathtaking!!!


We had never seen the super bloom before, so this was quite the experience for us.  We left our house extremely early one Saturday morning in hopes of beating the crowd.  Well, has it turned out we did beat the crowd, but we hadn't realized that when we first arrived.  It was crowded but it got a lot more crowed.

We arrived before the sun was up.  That's important to know because the poppy aren't open yet.  If you take a close up look at the photo - you can see the parade of people walking on the path in the background.

I was fighting a cold at the time and was a little concerned when I saw how steep the first segment was, but then it turned into a gradual up and down through the countryside.  Very Very Beautiful!!!  I enjoy taking photos but there were a lot of people taking selfies all dressed up looking lovely.  Sadly for them it was freezing but they endured for their selfies.  It was fun to see.

I have grown up in the Southern California area and lived here all my life and had never seen the super bloom.  I will return every time it occurs.  It is very fun to see such a beautiful event essentially right in our backyard.

The people of Lake Elsinore were absolutely charming.  They were out in force with advise and free parking.  At least it was free that day, and that is all I can really speak on.  The police force was also out in force making sure traffic was flowing as smooth as possible.  Everyone was very understanding.  It made it a perfect day!!!

Canada! Oh Canada! Niagara Falls - Epic!!!

OMG!!  Niagara Falls is amazing!!  It was awe-inspiring.  There aren't enough words to describe how wonderfully beautiful it is.  I took many many photos but the one posted here is from the window table at the restaurant second level.  Magical.  Canadians are so proud of there falls, and rightly so.  I'm going to try to post a 12 sec video, so I hope it works. If given the opportunity to see this wondrous sight - do it. We were staying in Toronto downtown area, in late December.  Fairmont Royal York Hotel - Loved it. This is a photo of the hotel when we checked in at 11:00 pm.  Helpful hint they have room service at that hour.  Yay!! The hotel is located across the street from the train station and a few blocks from the CN tower. To get to Niagara Falls, we hiked up to the bus terminal and took a megabus to the falls.  It was reasonably priced. We thought this was cute.  Hiking up to bus terminal, here is an early morning photo of an ice rink.
