Random Plants

(4 Pictures)

These are just some pictures I've taken in the last few days of some neat flowers/plants you'll see in Murrieta.

Murrieta: Twisted grass blade
This is an interesting one... Not a normal plant for sure, it seems to be some sort of illness or virus that has twisted these plant leaves into weird shapes, this one particularly caught my eye. Was taken in French Valley east of SR 79.
Murrieta: Purple Flowers
This is a common one you see, just not so big they are usually smaller and more lavender (the wild ones). Also taken east of SR 79.

On the way to the library...

The day I went to the library was a particularly beautiful one and so I decide to go the long way to the library and take a few snaps here and there.

Fruits & Plants

(8 Pictures)

Went to a friends house and thought that some of their plants and fruit trees might make good pictures. So here's what I got:
Murrieta: White Flowers
These trees with white flowers are very common around here, right now (mid Febuary) they are in full bloom.
Murrieta: Oranges
Common fruit tree to grow around here, most common in orchards.

Volcan Mountain

(8 Pictures)

Only about 15 minutes on the freeway and about 40 mintures on the road you can reach Volcan Mountain from Murrieta. The ride there is just as scenic as the trails themselves.
