Eschscholzia californica (Papaveraceae)

Most favorited, viewed & commented - yet somehow NOT "most interesting". And still has not shown up on the "Explore " page ! ***(edit: YES !! Made it to # 2, I think, as of April 21, 2005)***
A poppy at Sutter's Fort, Sacramento, backlit by the sun. I've been disappointed by the number of poppies I've seen in the wild this spring. Seems like when I first came out here they were all over the spring landscape. Is it that development has come to the areas I used to see them in ? Or are they just "on hiatus" for a bit ? I really hope they come roaring back next year. They are so definitively Californian, I'd hate to see them relegated to existing only in preserves.

PS (edit) - I did it. Lots of my friends were encouraging me to enter this shot into contests. I finally did - the California State Fair Fine Arts Competition. Hopefully the jurors find the same merit in it so many of you have. I'm keeping my fingers crossed (typing is tough this way).

PPS (edit) - California State Fair said "thanks, but no". Didn't even make the first cut for the competition. Ah, well. Next year ?

I realized today I hadn't worked on my candy series in quite some time. I had to remedy that.
