  4. Those a re a nice change of pace from the red ones. My favorite poppies, I think, are a bright pink.

    I've missed you. I need to stop by more often!

    I don't know what that thing is at the vineyard...it is definitely old - but I thought it look great with the poppies.

    Aren't those poppies pretty? I know they come in other colors but the yellow ones are our state flower and I am partial to them.


    secret agent woman -
    I've never seen pink poppies, red, occasionally, but our state flower, the yellow, grows everywhere.

    Poppies are such cheerful flowers - I love that they grow in the most inhospitable places, along the freeways, along rocky hillsides, etc.

    I'm happy that the poppy is our state flower. It's a bit more prolific than the daisy which grows everywhere here, too.


    Jidhu Jose -
    So happy you liked my poppy photograph!

    I'm not sure what the wooden structure is in my photo...it might have something to do with winemaking as it was at a winery. I love that it was weathered and it looked so nice with the poppies.


    Rajesh -
    I thought the scene was very appealing, the weathered "whatever it is" with the golden poppies.


    Merisis -
    Those California poppies ( our state flower ) need just a little bit of brightness to open their faces to the sun. They close up when it gets dark!


    Gattina -
    Those poppies bloom all year during daytime hours in our state.


    Hazelicious929 -
    Glad you like my photography. It's just a hobby but I just love it and am rarely out without my camera.


    Rekha -
    That golden poppy is the state flower of California and it blooms all year on days when the sun is out.


    Mar -
    The shot just presented itself and was effortless.

    Poppies are such wonderful flowers. They are everywhere in my state...at least, the yellow ones. I never see other colors.
