I have the fortune of living only about 10 miles from the most beautiful array of California Poppies. Today I went out there with my dh and three of my kids and two families from our scout pack. We hiked about three and one-half miles of trails there. The flowers are absolutely stunning!! We also saw one rattlesnake and several lizards. We had a great time. The weather was just gorgeous with enough of a cool breeze to keep you from getting overheated. I really wanted pictures of my kids amongst the flowers, but they decided to run ahead on the trails and leave poor old mom in the dust. We spent about 2 hours hiking and then another 20 minutes or so enjoying some delicious oranges before heading home. The oranges are Cara Cara Navel oranges and they are the best oranges I have ever eaten. I have not ever really been a big fan of fresh oranges but these are superb. I highly recommend them.
As for the poppies, I highly recommend a visit there if you are anywhere nearby. They are breathtaking!

Wow! they are gorgeous!! I don't remember them being so orange when I lived there. Great photos!!
BEAUTIFUL. What a great picture! Hard to believe we have that kind of beauty out here.
WOW! I knew the poppy blooms had increased over recent weeks, but that's more than I could imagine. I better get out there before it's too late. I'm overwhelmed by the pictures.
Lucky you. Those poppys are beautiful. I live next door to a VERY yellow lawn filled with dandelions!!! LOL
