California Poppy, or Eschscholzia californica, is known for its Vibrant Orange and Yellow Colors. Its found through out open grassy areas on California mountains. It is also found on the sides of freeways, catching your eyes in an instant. These flowers grown in big families, making it a beautiful scene to capture. So i got a good chance this year to take pictures of these wonderful flowers. First i spotted them on the side of Highway 15 and then traveled to Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. So Spring is here, and so are the poppies in California!
