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.

Pittsburgh Trip

I took a weekend trip to Pittsburgh at the end of April. The reason for the trip was CMU's annual Carnival event, but really just an excuse to see all my ole CMU alum friends in the same place at the same time. One of the events that my friends are into is called buggy.

The short explanation of buggy is that they take petite girls and put them in a custom hand-made racing buggy and people called pushers, push them around a course on a 5 or 6 person relay around a course. On the downhill of the course the pusher lets go and the driver takes over til the next hill. Here are some pics.


Yes, there is a person in that...





My friends....

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

Back to Blogging

Please pardon my recent blogging hiatus. I sprained my foot in March and the doctor said to stay off it. I've been staying at home and being even more boring than usual..yipee! I will try to catch up with new posts and new adventures.

In the meantime, enjoy a funny Swine Flu pic my co-worker sent me.
