The poppy preserve may be closed, and we are all on a stay home mandate, but its hard to resist this superbloom not far from home. Head to the preserve and before you get there you will be in the midst of miles of gold under a blue sky.

AND SO, AFTER A FEW HOURS IN THE MIDST OF CALIFORNIA BEAUTY WE MOVE ON A FEW MILES TO THE FAMOUS KILL BILL CHURCH. The lonely Sanctuary Adventist Church was cast as the Two Pines Wedding Chapel for the wedding massacre in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill Vol. 1” (2003)

Headed home we visited Kimball (masks on) in his Juniper forest home in Pearblossom.
