Unlike other parts of the state, the spring bloom here lasted only a few weeks due to early summer-like temperatures.

Pt. Reyes NS Tamales Point Hike
I've done this hike many times over the years and have never seen a spring bloom as spectacular as this. Huge growths of Coastal Bush Lupine! The bouquet was amazing!
This is called a Cobwebby Thistle. It stood out like a sore thumb among the yellow lupine and poppies.
