🇺🇸 Wow~ This is in San Jose, California – NOT New Zealand! 🌈😍

Finally, after the rainy season, the hills in the Bay Area are no longer dry and golden—they’ve turned lush and green, giving me total New Zealand vibes! 🍃🐑 The wild mustard flowers are blooming all across San Jose… The smell of fresh grass mixed with that distinct pastoral scent… well, let’s just say it smells like nature! 😄🌼🐄 📍 Location: Ed R. Levin County Park (easy parking! 🅿️) 👟 Wear shoes that can get dirty – or that you don’t mind washing later. The mud is sticky and fun in that messy-adventure kind of way! 🧥 It can also get pretty windy up there, so bring a windbreaker or light jacket. This place feels like stepping right into a Studio Ghibli movie… dreamy, soft, and full of magic 🎨✨. The rolling green hills under wide skies, bright yellow flowers waving in the breeze – it’s pure poetry. Perfect for a calming escape, a photoshoot, or just a soul-refreshing walk. Whether you’re hiking, picnicking, or flying a kite – this park offers those quiet, wide-open moments that make you forget you’re just minutes from the city. Come feel the earth, breathe the fresh air, and let nature heal you 💚. #GhibliVibes #PaintingLikeWorld #HealedByNature #SanJose #BayAreaLife #WeekendInNature #BayAreaWeekends #CaliforniaSpring #HiddenGems #NatureLovers #TravelNorCal
