february likes to play dress up and wants to be may
Valencia Peak in Montana de Oro CA State Park - we docents give spring wildflower walks along this path. Emdot shows here what you are missing if you stay home.
i know. i know. i should leave the flower macros to the masters, but hello. february all hot and weird. and this poppy was just there to soak it all in.
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.
It's beautiful, is what it is. Beautiful and
cruel, considering it's only 28 damned
degrees here. Still, it's nice to be reminded
that the sky is blue somewhere and flowers
are blossoming and the color green actually
exists in nature.

I heard on the news yesterday that you have
an extraordinarily warm winter (there was a
report about a big fire near - oh my,
forgotten, was it - Los Angeles?!)

Britta -- the fire is (i believe) in Orange
County which is just south of LA and about
four hours south of us. But still.

Our February last year was unseasonably warm.
Not so this year! The rains have finally
slacked off a bit and we had a little sun
yesterday and again this afternoon, but too
cold! Wish I could be there to soak up some
sun with the poppies. Beautiful shot. Macro
on! You do it very nicely. :)

On my planet it will be 0ºF/-18ºC tonight...
This flower is so... inspiring, magnificent.
And the photographer's touch is as important.
Bravo!

If macromasters are better than you in this
shot, I've yet to see it. =)
In spite of a warmer than average winter,
it snowed here last night. And for a short
while, we had snow this morning.
Unfortunately not nearly enough to cause a
snow day...

happiness first thing when I wake up in the
morning. oh, what beauty!

A feb. poppy? Very cool. We did not have any
tricked by the warm winter down near us
(ventura county), but a few lupines came out
early. Fantastic shot. I took way too many
poppy photos this year.

I would say that this is pretty masterful!
The large size makes a great desktop
background - hope you don't mind. Good work.
