Throwback Thursday: Mustard Blooms!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

This photo was taken last June, on the road to visit the Rose Falls which are located in the Los Padres National Forest in Ventura County. ( Wiki. Los Padres includes most of the mountainous land along the California coast from Ventura to Monterey, extending inland. Elevations range from sea level to 8,847 feet. )The mustard was still in bloom and plentiful on both sides of the road.

                                                                

When we arrived there, it was a 20 minute walk up hill.  You could hear the water running into the stream, and then we saw this glorious site!  It is on our to do list for this year!

 

Happy Thursday!

Hello Alexandra and Ron - so many opportunities to enjoy life.  The sound of a stream off in the distance.  Or maybe the rustling of wind as we advance on a hillside.  The scent of our surroundings and even the briskness of air.  While I may not be able to quickly identify mustard blooms it takes just a moment to understand what a delight it can be when we just "be".

Love your new phone. I am going to get mine soon, hopefully. Need to see where I am with my installments.  I can see why that hike is on your to-do list.

Hi Ron and Alexandra Seigel - This is what living in the moment is all about.  Gorgeous shots!  I can just imagine sitting near that waterfall and meditating focusing on the sound.

Seeing the clouds in front it reminded me of driving through the cloud forest in Costa Rica.

Nina Hollander we are alreading mustard in bloom, when we take the freeway North to the wine country!  Today, we went south to have our teeth cleaned.  No mustard in bloom!  In the wine country, they are used to add nitrogen to the soil and they get plowed under when the vines start budding.  A

Joe Pryor those clouds keep the pinot grapes cool, which is one of the reasons, we have great Pinot Noir produced here.  A

Michael Jacobs easy to distinguish mustard blooms from clover blooms which are also yellow.  The mustard are taller and the yellow is warmer.  The clover color is less warm and they are shorter.  Heading South today to the dentist, we did not see any yellow blooms, unlike when we head North towards Buellton or Santa Ynez.  We love waterfalls, they remind me of the train rides through the Swiss Alps where watefalls abound!  A

What a beautiful sight those mustard greens are.  When I was a young bride, my husband worked 5 hours at night, while finishing college during the day.  We had a young son.  On weekends, my hubby would go out and fish or hunt.  My mother would often take walks with me along a river bank where mustard greens grew prolifically.  They are wonderful stir-fried and then served with a little red wine garlic vineager.  We didn't go hungry.  A little tip: The greens are best picked just before full flower.

Hi Ron and Alexandra- it's easy to forget that the spice we use is also a beautiful plant when in bloom.
