It was one of the nice warm day in spring . I was driving, when I got the glimpse of this hot air balloon. Luckily I had my camera with me and took these pictures. I am sure the three passengers in balloon flying on Perris Valley would have a great  experience of spectacular view of  snowy mountain ,wild  mustard fields and terrains. An adventure of lifetime for the riders as well as beautiful sight of colorful balloon for the viewers on ground.
For hot air balloon rides, check out Adventure Flights.

It is March , it is Spring  and it is Perris. You could not tell unless you come out and look around. New buds coming from dry and lifeless branches. Barren fields become meadows which are now heaven for sheep herds. These fields of  wild Mustard are along Goetz and Ethanac roads near Perris Valley Sky Diving area and  are clearly the signs of beauty and advent of Spring .

Mustard is a plant of  Brassicaceae Family which also includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, brussel sprouts, radish, turnips. Wild mustard which has become invasive weed here but still its tiny yellow flowers are so abundant that the fields seem like covered with gold.  Just amazing .

Mustard flowers first symbol of spring and abundance

Fields of gold

Pleasure for eyes

Thing of beauty ,joy forever

 

To describe my feelings about these beauties and joy of nature and how change brings the message of hope,here is  Robert Frost’s Poem:

A Boundless Moment

“He halted in the wind, and — what was that
Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
He stood there bringing March against his thought,
And yet too ready to believe the most. 

“Oh, that’s the Paradise-in-bloom,” I said;
And truly it was fair enough for flowers
had we but in us to assume in march
Such white luxuriance of May for ours.

We stood a moment so in a strange world,
Myself as one his own pretense deceives;
And then I said the truth (and we moved on).
A young beech clinging to its last year’s leaves.”

Peace be upon us.

In the Name of Most Gracious,Most Merciful one God.

First ever blog from my part,wondering what to write like any *new writer. The reason for specifying* new is that for a true and I mean real writer , thoughts overflow in his/her  mind and always ready to grasp some writing media and flush them out

But  if writing is something which can be taught and we can learn.  Then why not start by writing my daily account of activities. Good thing, my daily activities are not planned, so I am not writing my daily schedule but the things that come in my way, or the things I want to deal with.

So  I ‘ll try to write an account of a few things that are in my way or on my mind and hopefully this account will serve as a refresher and fulfillment for my mind and soul.  All  visitors in my blog world , I welcome all of you.
