Spring Showers.... Wildflowers?

Monday March 15, 2010

Trying to predict the California wildflower season seems to be an almost futile task, with the final result depending on rainfall, temperature, wind and a host of other factors. Nevertheless, it's been a rainy winter and I'm feeling optimistic about the bloom season to follow. So are some of the sources I hear from, especially the folks in Death Valley, who report: "Tiny wildflower sprouts have started to appear in the lower elevations." Anza-Borrego State Park's website also says: "The desert is poised to burst into a riot of colorful blossoms."

You'll find statues of Bugs Bunny and Kermit the Frog, a museum full of Peanuts comic strips - and some of these animated characters even have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Use the Los Angeles Film Lover's Getaway Guide to plan your trip and you'll discover behind the scenes walks, great class cinemas, a real studio tour and find out how to get inside locations seldom open to the public.
