White Poppy Dreams
The white poppies are so fascinating and wind gives them such a fluid look.

Lupine and Poppies
A little cloud cover made the colors pop. The wind, however, was a challenge. Photoshop art filters were perfect for this scene.
White and Yellow Poppies
Taxes still not done but how can I concentrate with this record bloom going on! I’m going back out 🙂
Poppies at Bartlett Lake
Miles and miles of poppies at Bartlett lake. Going out for close-ups today.
Desert Wildflowers
Our Death Valley road trip was awesome but better yet was that the wildflowers held on til we got home!
Parting Shot
I’m hearing reports from all my photographer friends that poppies are showing up everywhere. Even this tiny Pincushion cactus (Mammillaria grahamii) is sporting new growth so Spring has definitely sprung! I’ll be out shooting as soon as I get back.
(no phone or internet for the next 10 days)
Room with a View
From my office window yesterday morning I noticed that Poppies have come up all over the mountains around us. We haven’t seen them around here for about 10 years so it’s very exciting!
Penstemon parryii
Frost this morning! It’s light but I’m feeling guilty that I didn’t cover the few cold sensitive plants I have. This photo of Parry’s Penstemon was taken two days ago. They’re just on the verge of blooming so I sure hope they weren’t hit too hard. The inset photo is of the blooms it had last year.
