I like that water from a recent sprinkling of rain has collected in the petals and in the bowl-like center of the flower.

That poppy picture is stunning.
ReplyDeletepretty California poppies! they remind me of my childhood too, lots of family in California. There's a house up the street from us on 76th with a flurry of these in their yard! :)
