Maybe people will like this better, more traditional. Although, maybe not, it's rather messy.
About a month and a half ago I went on my Annual Great Poppy Hunt. Only this year the weather was not accommodating, almost drought in CA, so few poppies. I wasn't seeing many in my area so I went up to Sacramento to hunt for them in a place that George Lepp had told me about at his workshop (years ago now, maybe five). Nope, although I went all over that area, and I saw nary any wildflowers of any variety. I stopped off and visited with Bruce Dayton briefly, and decided to go up to Auburn. Took some shots there but didn't get anything great, then came back. However, I was driving through an area I don't normally go through a few days later and bingo found a field of poppies about three towns over from me. Wouldn't you know? Right near home. I don't think I got any great close-ups, but maybe some of them cropped would be okay. I'll try that later. It was very windy and they were blowing around a lot. I also knew they would be gone in a week and I didn't have time to return soon enough to do it again. So this is the best of a bad lot, non close-up style. I have never found natural poppies without finding them mixed in with a lot of weeds. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/crowd.htm Comments and stuff welcome.
