The Flowers Are In Bloom On Figueroa Mountain?

The Flowers are starting to bloom on Figueroa. The lack of rain and fire last year make the bloom less than what it would normally be at this time of year. Mostly poppies but a few lupine coming through.

Blizzard Hits Santa Barbara's Mountains, 3/18/12

Winter returned to Santa Barbara this weekend, dropping 2-3 inches of snow down to about 2500ft. It came as quickly as it left but for a couple of hours, Santa Barbara had the look of ski resort town with snow capped mountains all around.   View the Santa Barbara Blizzard photo album below.
