It’s spring time again, my search for flowers has begun! Arvin, which is about 3 hours from OC, has lots of Almonds farms, which at this time of year are showing white blooms. Almond trees produce white flowers; we were looking for pink flowers around this area but could not find any.

Urban road
It was about 80% blooms so I guess the flowers still will be very beautiful until the next 2 weeks.
As we were driving we found these guys, they ran away (slowly) when we approached them.

We (T, aunt Vân & me) left OC around 7:30 AM, stopped by Carl’s Jr. in Gorman for a quick breakfast and then headed to Arvin. We did not plan to make an exit at Wheeler Ridge Dr. (from freeway 5N) but we saw lots of white flowers from freeway so we decided to exit. It was a very wise choice because on this road we found lots of white flowers.
Continue on Wheeler Ridge Dr. and make a right turn on Bear Mountain (hwy 223), we found more flowers on this main street that leads to Arvin town.
We left Arvin around 4:00 PM; the GPS took us to hwy 99 and then freeway 5S which is longer!So it’s better to go back to Wheeler Ridge and to freeway 5S.
Side note: wildflowers are not found anywhere in Arvin at this time. There were few yellow patches but that’s all.
