California Poppies on a Misty Morning
While scratching my head as to what to post for today, it occurred to me that several of you asked about California poppies and since we see them very frequently here, they deserve some attention as well.
Maybe, to you, the golden tones of their petals are a reminder of the golden state and fond memories of the home you left behind, or maybe a childhood memory of fields of them lighting up a hillside?
Whatever the reason or emotion, they’re beautiful and this particular grouping certainly captured my interest. Although I photographed it years ago, it’s a lovely reminder of my walk with a friend (from California!) on the levee trail here in Sequim.
I hope they bring back fond memories for you as well.
Lovely composition, Peggy. The muting effect of the mist and the backlighting on the petals is different from the bright, bold pictures you often see of California Poppies.
Thank you, Sam. Considering that we have a lot more moisture in our area, I thought the mist was only fitting! 😉
Thanks, Peggy! We lived in the Calif. high desert for 40 yrs, and loved the hillsides covered in orange poppies every Spring. They were beautiful!!
Miss those!
