The California wildflower “Superbloom” is still on and the Mister and I went on an adventure to find some more beautiful wildflowers on Tuesday! We already visited the Antelope Valley Poppy Fields, so I didn’t bother visiting the poppies in Lake Elsinore, but instead went on a hunt for these gorgeous, purple, lakeside, lupines! How did …

Note: A little over 2 years ago I published my first blog post: a Donut Crawl to all of the “Big Donut” donut shops in the Los Angeles area (plus a drive-thru donut), followed up by a blind taste test. The post is now buried in the archives, and thank god because the photos are …
