Poppy field 1

check out this bee

These look like birthday candles!

Can someone please tell me why I just got 300 views on this photo yesterday, October 19, '08? Has it been blogged somewhere? I would just like to know.

I found masses of California Poppys today in a vast field. I was in Poppy heaven.

FT: the poppies are so vividly orange, the bee is easy to miss, even with the yellow highlights.

@Fine Rain, my dear: It is true I have invested in an expensive camera. But some of my best photos were taken on a low quality camera phone. "A poor workman blames his tools".
So it is not about the tools.
