Hi there! Hope you are all having a great week thus far! Scott and I are currently on a short get away at our "home away from home" for a few days in sunny San Diego, CA :) We visited the beautiful Flower Fields in Carlsbad yesterday and Scott snapped some photos for me! There are 50 acres FULL of gorgeous Giant Ranunculus in so many shades of vibrant colors. This is just a snippet of what you see:

This is just a "small" flower garden featuring a variety of flowers:

We were lucky and had a lady bug land on the tripod pole:

Silly me surrounded by my favorite colors: pretty pastel peach and pink Giant Ranunculus:

When in full bloom, the blossoms are bigger than my fist!

Love the beautiful shades of purples in this garden:

and last but not least, gorgeous sweet smelling Roses:

Thanks so much for looking! Be Sweet :)
