April 6
It's a bit of a birthday tradition for me, to go out to the desert to see the wildflowers. When Rhea was here, I'd pull her out of school for the day, and I'd take a sickie from work, and we'd drive out to Lancaster to the Poppy Reserve just to glory in all that neon orange. The last few years have been woeful for wildflowers -- last year the Reserve recorded 58 poppy flowers! -- but this year's a doozy thanks to the winter rains.

That is so gorgeous Hashi. The bluebells are just starting here. I hope you get your bookshelf.
Happy birthday, my favourite sister. I'm glad you celebrated in such a lovely way (with such a lovely man!).
What a wonderful way to spend your birthday! hope the rest of it was happy, too!
Oh mum! What great pics. I love the one of you and Josh. It's like you are looking out over a promising new year.
And the close up is wonderful!
I love you so much mum.
What fabulous photos Hashi. The colours of the flowers are a knock out.
I'll never forget that day mum. I was so so unhappy and the fact that we ignored the world and did what WE wanted made everything so much better.
I know that you had t deal with the worst of my teenage years but I thank you so SO much for everything you did for me, esp sharing days like that. It'll always be one of my favourite memories.
I can't wait till you're back is Aus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely stunning! Can't believe those are poppies.
