Spring time |
|
In Beautiful Downtown Nowheresville |
As I was looking the other ways for a while last week all the flowers has breasted in to bloom. I
spent all day Saturday in a place called Ellwood Shores. Bountiful
green fields on many bluffs over looking the Santa Barbara Channel and Islands. Lots of wild
flowers and this time of year Monarch butterflies (thousands and thousands per eucalyptus tree) fluttering around everywhere.
They spend the winters in the many eucalyptus trees along the coast. In a couple of weeks they will start their 900 mi. migration
up the inland mountain range to Beautiful British Columbia in Canada
for the summer. Then in the fall there offspring travel the same 900 mi. back to our not so cool wintering groves on the planes
above the Ellwood Beach, on the California shores.

Outskirts of Nowheresville |
These time of year all the foliage in the savanna around in my neck
of the woods are green. Along with all the trees. Right now there are so many willed yellow flowers blossoming out all over
the place. In fact the Chines how uset to mine around hear before the Russian explores and trappers settled the place call
it Gold Hill because whine they sailed by California and landed in the spring, sumer and fall months all the hills ware a
golden Color because not only are the hills covert with deferent yellow flowers in the spring. By sumer all the coastal hills
which are covered mostly by large roiling savannas start to dry out and the dead stakes all tern a golden yellow all sumer
thou the fall. Of course the Chines only saild by and landed during good wither on the Pacific sea routes. November is
the time of year when we get the hottest temps. Hot air descends on us from the great Sonora Desert and we are in the gripes
of willed fires season. Whine lighting naturally ignites all the foliage that grow all winter and spring that has been drying
out all sumer. The ashes from all the willed fires then chemical activates the soils. Witch makes the nutrients with in it
more accessible for the next generation on planets and foliages. Witch in tern starts growing as soon as we get the first
rains of winter. Some times as early as November or December grasses and foliage starts shutting up out of the ashes. Everything
starts terning green all over agin.
