California is having a real nature moment and nobody is supposed to be around to see it.

In mid-April, following heavy rains, California’s famed poppies sprouted and bloomed, creating a scene that looked like it was straight out of a romance movie. However, because of California’s social distancing orders, nobody was supposed to see this gorgeous sight in person.

Like other public spaces around the state, the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve is closed to the public. However, as LAist noted, that did not deter people from attempting to visit. California State Parks even put up roadblocks to stop the incoming traffic, but even that wasn’t enough.
