I love California poppies, too.. getting them to "sit" is always a challenge... my fave looking at the thumbnails was bkd_1655.htm but I'd like to see the blur on the left cropped out or darkened with photoshop... Cropping being the preferable route.. the first one on the left is stunning,too - how about that little bit of orange on the lower right hand corner? chop? If cropped even a tiny bit I think this one bkd_1698a.htm would be my favorite... it takes me right there. lovely stuff, Bruce ann
