Prettiest scenery I ever saw was in Big Sur one spring. The forest side of the hill was covered in purple columbines and the sun side with orange and yellow poppies. It was just stunning, like a V with a blue side and an orange side - only totally natural. Big Sur is one of my favorite places on earth.
