Poppies

A few yellow mixed in with the orange poppies.





























It turns out poppies are the state flower of California. There were lots of people out looking at them in the fields. There is a Poppy Reserve near by, but we didn't drive in, just stopped by the side of the road. The orange was such a vibrant color in person that they almost hurt your eyes. We did find a few yellow ones mixed in with the orange and a few other wild flowers intermixed among the poppies. This proves there is some color to the desert, at least some short lived color.
