2010, Day 130 - California dreamin'

I love poppies, they remind me of California and now that I'm an Oregonian and seem them so infrequently I find their vibrant warmth a friendly reminder of my childhood.

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