@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine. Just little spots of beauty in an otherwise weedy hillside.
@Betty: Thanks Betty, we could tuck it behind your little bat's ear. Wouldn't that make a pretty picture. ;D

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France
Wow... fantastic light and colors... great composition...
They are not really poppies, but Eischoltzia californica, even if in France, we call them “ Californian poppies” too...

@Francesc B.: Thanks for the explanation. In reality they don't even look or act like poppies. I shall write this name down.
