Field of Sunflowers

It's not Italy, it's not Provence.....   It's a tiny community in San Diego county called Valley Center.  This small field was formerly a dairy farm that went bust in the economy.  Now it's a bright spot (with lots of fertile ground).

Pears in a Partridge Tree???

I came across a pear orchard outside the small community of Warner Hot Springs in Northeastern San Diego County. They aren't ripe yet but from the looks of them it won't be long.
