Two days ago I drove up to the Santa Lucia chapel and enjoyed the pink view up there. This photo is a good example but the best view I could not take as the sun was in front of me. Good thing I did too. With the exception of the white plastic 'green houses' to the left, all the light areas, all the way to the right upper area are almond trees.
Yesterday it rained all day with heavy winds, so I could not take Mama for a ride to show her the pink wonder around us (she has never driven amongst the almond groves - either not motivated or not used to 'just doing something for the fun of it').
A few years ago the winds blew off most of the blossoms before they were pollinated and the almond industry suffered. Prices were really up. Hopefully the bees were able to do their thing early enough.
Have a pink day!
