I take a 3 mile walk, three times a week, while my husband is doing Physical Therapy. This week I found a yard with several California Poppies blooming. Such an unseasonal find; they usually bloom in the Spring. It made me happy.

Gorgeous shot. I just love poppies, but am starting to worry that we aren't going to get enough rain this year if this keeps up.
ReplyDeleteJan, love your new blog sidebar design and glad to know you are a quilter! And that poppy! I saw the tip of a bulb peek out and also felt so happy to see it.
ReplyDeletesuch a pleasent surprise. :)

ReplyDeleteoooooh, now you really made me jealous!
ReplyDeleteJan, I spotted the first wildflower up on the mountain today and they don't usually bloom until April!!! What is up with this?
ReplyDeleteIt seems to have been such a bizarre weather year all around. At least you have a pretty flower to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI love poppies, they are so cheerful! How wonderful to happen across them on your walk.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flower -- what a great find. :)

I inadvertently posted my photo twice. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThe poppy is vivid and lovely.
