Flowers Along State Route 1 (Santa Cruz to Pescadero) - Cellphone Photos

On 5 April 2023, my parents and I drove along State Route 1 in search of flower viewing opportunities. We drove from Santa Cruz to Half Moon Bay (the last of my photos are from Pescadero State Beach). I took photos with my cellphones and mirrorless camera. The photos are split into 2 blog posts. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!
