The Highway 1 in California runs along the coast between San Francisco and Los Angeles.   At the height of the spring, a traveler would see mustard fields on both sides of the road— some spreading towards the ocean as if lured away by the waves.   There are more breathtaking sceneries than mustard fields, but in mass this lowly plant offers as much joy as others better known on the Highway 1.
