Flower Fields Part 3 of 3

One section of the fields, they made into the American flag.







I was hoping Google Maps would have a good aerial view I could link too, but it's out of season instead. I took that last pic on my tippee toes from the parking lot.

Flower Fields Part 2 of 3

So I took a lot of pictures of the Flower Fields and yes, I am gonna make you look at all of them. :)


They give tours of the fields on tractors. The driver of this one is awesome.


The other side side of the field. It makes you appreciate the flowers even more.




This the Rose Garden section.



The close-up pics are my way of messing with the macro setting on my camera. I'm much too lazy for real photography using custom settings.

Flowers for my Mom

This post is dedicated to my wonderful mom. Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for always being there for me. I couldn't have asked for a better mom! And Happy Mother's Day to all the other moms who read my blog. You're special too, just not as special as my mom ;)

My ole SP coworker Doug told me to check out the Carlsbad Flower Fields when I moved to Carlsbad last fall. I had no idea where they were and over time I keep hearing them mentioned in the area. I finally asked someone where they are and low and behold I had been driving by them at least 3 times a week for months. In my defense, they weren't in season for most of that time....and Carlsbad has plants and flowers everywhere.

I walked by this while strolling along Carlsbad Beach last weekend. It's pretty detailed.

Carlsbad Fair Sunday

On Sunday, I went to the Carlsbad Village Fair which is right up the street from where I live. It reminded me of the Pittsburgh Arts Festival. It was a big event and lots of people were there and there was a ton of booths. I was surprised to see how many booths there were with stuff promoting Hawaii, like Hawaiian art and tiki sculptures. It was overcast and sprinkling when I got there, but an hour later it was all sun again.












I thought this was a Police Segway when I first saw it, but it had a lame little wheel on the front...boo. I did see two people on segways in downtown Carlsbad the other day. I want to try one.

I'm a Californian!

I got my CA license in the mail last week and my California license plates today. I feel like a regular at the local DMV. Kinda sad really. Hopefully, I won't have to go back there for a long time. I also got business cards for work which is awesome. I'm on a 90-day trial at work, so I'm kinda surprised they got business cards for me so soon.

I've been keeping pretty busy with work, but I'm hoping for some free time this weekend to try a new adventure. The Carlsbad Village Fair is coming to town Sunday, so I'm excited to check that out. I bought a San Diego tourist book, so I'm working on a list of places to check out.

I Got A Job!

I got a job offer at a local design firm today and I accepted! I start Monday. I am excited, but kinda sad my beach weekdays are coming to an end. At least I will still have beach weekends! Yay!! My next adventure is finding another place to live. My current place is awesome, but it's only available til mid October. I figure I should look for a new place for October 1st because it's harder to find a new place for that starts mid-month.

Beach Day

I finally went to the beach today and got to take some pictures. I bailed on going out for the Steeler game last night. It was the only night game and was shown on NBC, so I was able to watch it at home. Here are some pics from the beach in Carlsbad. It looks overcast in some pics but it really wasn't. There was some fog over the ocean though. If you click on each pic you can see it in it's larger original size.












Quit looking at me, Sea Squirrels! If you click on this one, there is a squirrel camouflaged in the rocks. There were a bunch of squirrels along the beach. It was bizarre.
