It is currently freezing cold outside so I am trying to warm myself up by dreaming about warmer locales, such as this delightful place located in Carlsbad, California. I visited the Carlsbad Flower Fields last April and it was a delightful experience.
I didn't know just how much I adore ranunculus until I visited, and now they are quite possibly my favorite flower. I recommend a visit ti the Carlsbad Flower Fields for anyone and everyone! Walking around the fields is relatively easy but there is also a wagon ride if you would rather not walk. We were happy to have strollers with us, but were one seat shy of enough seats and so the older kids had to take turns walking. There are several fields all in various states of growth and harvest, and so it can be quite a long walk if you allow it to be. It was a little pricey for being a "field of flowers," but there several coupons available and it was so enjoyable that we will definitely visit again if we happen to be in the Carlsbad area during the peak months. Usually they are open during the Easter season, which happens to be right now.
A few tips before you go-bring a camera, you will want one! Bring bottled water, wear good walking shoes, wear sunscreen, bring strollers, etc. The Fields are located right next to a mall so when you are finished you can go and treat yourself to a Haggen Das shake, you won't regret that either.
P.S. I stumbled across this quote while perusing Pinterst last night. While the quote is from an artist, it applies so well to these flower fields.
Color is the language I speak best...Color sings to me.
