I’d almost, almost forgotten how beautiful the colors are in California. . . .
Yes, the skies really are that blue here. The tree with the striking yellow blooms is a gold medallion (Cassia leptophylla).
One of the lovely boutiques in the Cedros Design District of Solana Beach, and the ever-present red convertible.
They even have hydrangeas here!
Hope your week’s going well so far. . . .

Pearls & Prose 
Look at the color of the sky!!! That counts as a California color as well, doesn’t it?
Totally!
Amazing. Lucky you to be living in a place like that. Each of the three photos is really nice.
Thanks, Caroline. I am feeling pretty blessed.
That first shot is just amazing! That also qualifies as a Carolina Blue sky š
Whatever you say, Bonnie!
Love the first photo with the contrast of the blue and gold flowers. What a great color combination.
I was at a nursery looking at plants and happened to look up. Almost missed this tree.
The cassia looks spectacular against the blue sky. Very California dreaming.
I think Cassia may be my new favorite tree.
gorgeous gorgeous! It’s why I want to move back to Cali!
C’mon back! š
I need to find time to make a visit to this state. I haven’t been in years since all of the family moved away, but it is so beautiful and has so many wonderful memories for me.
You will find your way back after all your travels, I’m sure. š
It’s definitely a possibility š
Oh, that blue and gold together!!!

I remember the first time I saw that color – the phrase “cerulean skies” suddenly made sense to me!
