a casual walk turned into a full-on spring daydream 🌸

Went to Huntington on a whim and wow—spring really showed up. Flowers in every shade of purple, yellow, and soft green, all perfectly arranged like someone hit “aesthetic overload” on purpose. The sun was warm but not hot, the breeze was soft, and every few steps I had to stop for pics. It felt like walking through a real-life fairy garden. If you're in SoCal this month, go. Like…drop everything and go. Summer's already creeping in and this moment won’t last. #springvibes #californiadreaming #flowerseason 🌿
