Just about every spring, I make the little 4x4 drive out to Sagehen Meadows. It is my favorite meadow in the Tahoe area, a little bit north of Truckee, California where I live. I decided to scout it out yesterday and see how things are looking, and to my surprise, the Camas wildflowers are already blooming! It's still a bit early in their short season, hopefully the meadow will fill in bit more as there have been some years where it is a solid blanket of purple and it almost looks like a purple lake from a distance.
