Shell Creek Wildflower Update

Time again for the Saturday morning drive out Shell Creek Road looking for wildflowers.  With no rain this week, it is continuing to dry out in Eastern San Luis Obispo County, and the wildflower bloom was pretty limited.  There are still some goldfields and tidy tips; added this week are lupine and California dandelion.  The wind was gusting during my visit, so flower photos were a challenge.

So the overall flower display is not spectacular - has it already peaked??  But the area is such a pretty, peaceful setting, it's worth the drive just for the joy of getting outdoors.
