Poppies grow
in many parts of the world. There is no more prolific growth than
in California. The Antelope Valley, north of Los Angeles, is blessed
with golden-orange carpets in the spring if moisture and temperature
have been kind. A state poppy park and festival celebrate the poppy's
return. The flowers at right were more yellow-gold than most. This
image and the top left one are 6x7cm slides. The other is a 35mm slide.
All three were shot in the Antelope Valley and Leona Valley area,
not in the park. In a good year you can find them and lupine across
the entire valley and surrounding area. Next 2 pages are digital negatives |
