Work trip « Thread Started on Apr 5, 2009, 3:31pm »
I "had" to take a trip for work this past week to the area of Avila, California. I took along my camera because it was a gorgeous day. It was sunny, even if bit cold and windy because a bank of fog was hovering just off the coast, but it was a spring day when you just HAVE to have your camera with you! The poppies were in bloom!
Oh, Gee!!! Those are really great pics... smells Orange Juice (from California of course).... the last one with the zoom is awesome ... do you know the name of those flowers?? Van Gogh would have like that

Thank you, Simone. I agree that Van Gogh would have liked it - Monet too. Yes, the name of the flower is the California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica), and it is the official state flower of California, so I better know it! Well, I did NOT know the Latin name - I had to look that up!
