Technicolor Poppy Patch

It's amazing how neon-bright California Poppies can be and how they just pop and stand out from the grassland around them! Carrizo Plain National Monument, CA, March 2005

Nice photo!

It reminds me of driving along 101, between San Jose and Gilroy and seeing the hills glowing because of all the poppies, and knowing that is why California is called the Golden State. Richard Dana described seeing the poppies from sea in "Two Years Before the Mast."
