I was driving on a back road yesterday and found this sea of yellow field mustard all in bloom! It made me smile so I had to go home and get my camera to capture the showy display of yellow. This was an orchard of apples but a few years ago they took down the trees and now it has come alive with mustard. I realize this is another of our county’s invasive species but it sure is pretty.
I am in awe of just how beautiful this scene sparkles on this February day.
We took the opportunity to take a family hike in the sunshine and it was fairly uneventful. All three of my sons accompanying my husband and I for a hike down in the canyon. Kona dog came too and she was eager to explore.
Kona was wild on this hike so she had to sit for a minute in a little doggy “time out”. She brought home some ticks a few times in the past week so I am trying to keep her in the middle of the trail and then check her when we get back to the car. She has other ideas….her nose is just so curious.
I know much of our nation is still deep into winter cold and winter weather but here in our part of the world it is sunny and warm in the afternoons. I hope my images cheer you up!
It certainly cheered me up! I would have deposited my children right in the middle of that field for a photo op! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Beautiful! I LOVE that first photo! I don’t think I’ve ever seen wild mustard!

As, I look out my window at my snow covered yard, I am amazed at how spring-like your setting is. Wild mustard is very common here, with patches of it that stretch on to the horizon…but not for several more months.
Just lovely. Thank you for sharing. I am in Canada, and it certainly is nice to see pictures of greenery in February!
your kona is so sweet.
the wild mustard is beautiful. i wonder if i would recognize it now ..
