Wildflowers

11079 Poppy - Chalice of Sunlight, Ashland OR - May 2007. Poppies love the sun and dislike getting out of bed in the mornings, so they stay wrapped up in their petals until about 10am. This one is soaking up the rays of the noon sun, and its cuplike petals are glowing with the light. Like many Californians, this Poppy moved North to get away from the rat race. It settled in a nice neighborhood without sidewalks so it could grow in a warm, sunny spot on the side of the road and raise a family.
