Wild Poppies
Uploaded: November 03, 2009
As I'm photographing these delicate flowers I am not so delicate. My camera is on the ground and my face is in the dirt. This was taken on a morning as I was on my way to Death Valley a few years back. The poppies in the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve wake up pretty late and don't fully open until a few hours after sunrise. If the El Nino weather pattern is in effect this season the poppies should be great this spring in 2010. Already looking foward to it now.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
