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.
