Prickly Poppy and Beetle
We had very few Prickly Poppies in the Preserve this year but I did see a few out at Brown’s Ranch. This one had a Blister Beetle who was was moving out to start chomping on the petals.

Prickly Poppy
A friend and I hiked a favorite canyon a couple of days ago and were so disappointed with the low amount of flower displays this year. This particular place is usually loaded with Southwestern Prickly Poppies which are especially fun to photograph because they are so large. Today I’m posting a Prickly Poppy captured in Infrared up at the Grand Canyon last year. I played with the image channels to introduce some false color.
