Capturing nature's peacefulness one photo at a time.
I am an avid nature and ecology lover and enjoy sharing my photography in my blog writings. I will often be out early in the morning or late in the evening with my camera, trying to capture the peacefulness and beauty around me. View more posts

Hi Dawn, nice to meet you and have you along for the ride at Sunday Stills. I was obsessed with California poppies and saw them everywhere from February through May where I used to live in Sacramento. Here in Nine Mile Falls, north of Spokane, WA, we don’t see these unless someone planted them. Thanks for the beautiful poppy show!

Thanks for hosting Sunday Stills!
Sacramento has some beautiful flowers too. Unfortunately, it’s getting hot everywhere in the west. They don’t bloom as much or last as long. I bet you have a lovely variety of flowers up north. 😎

We have so many wildflowers that spontaneously grow all over…the wild sunflowers, lupine and others. I can’t complain 🙂

Beautiful shots Dawn! If I may over a tip……..flowers are best shot on overcast days.

Thank you! 😊 I took these photos on a hike at an orchard in foothills of mountains…not. a. single. cloud. anywhere. Go figure! These poppies disappear fast, especially with a heat wave. Next time (hopefully). 😎 I think you are right about what you said earlier…just keep trying. The other day, it was too overcast and the poppies weren’t even open. 🤣

Thank you! 😊 The orange poppy is California’s state flower. I didn’t realize how unique they were until I never saw them in other places.
