The Blossom Trail

The Blossom Trail

I was surprised to see these trees blossoming in the California Central Valley near Lost Hills. The area has been so dry I wasn’t sure they could survive. I’m not sure what they are…signs in the area advertise home-grown almonds and pistachios (and pie and fudge!). I’m still looking for the fudge trees.
