Wildflowers, hide and seek, sun and a rattlesnake

This spring in Southern California has been amazing! With all of the rain that we received through Dec-Feb it has made the hills even more gorgeous! This adorable family and I went in search of some green and wildflowers last week. It was a ton of fun...warm but a ton of fun. With a bit of jumping and frolicking and hide and seek in the wildflowers, we had a blast. Unfortunately nearing the end of our session, a dog that was out for a walk with their owner was bit by a rattlesnake very near to us...bringing us back to the reality of hiking through the hills here. It was definitely a somber end to the session as our thoughts were with that dog.
