Here,
I’ve caught

One of my favorites. Great color.
I am more and more envious of these perfectly focused images I’ve been seeing! I love California poppies, and you’ve captured these so well, Madge.
Beautiful things – and they do indeed seem to glow. And add brightness to the day and the viewer.
A gorgeous flower shot. The poppies have such brilliant color. You not only caught the color but you captured fine detail. Well done.
For the life of me, I cannot grow poppies!…:)JP
How gorgeous!
Gorgeous flower ! I remember when I was a child there was hair oil ( or was it after shave cologne?) called Californian Poppy:)
