Description and I hiked with some other friends in the foothills the other day...California Poppies were everywhere!!!  Despite there being too little rain, what we got last month has given us a stunning wild flower season

These are last year's, but were near Placerville CA (actually just up the river near Coloma where the 1849 gold rush started ) We're having another great poppy year - with LOTS of rain

Egads!  They are everywhere!   I'd have a hard time leaving an opportunity like this!  Thanks for sharing, Ruth!

It has been a fantastic year for poppies here in the foothills - they're all along these ridges even my own property had more than we've seen in the six years we've been here... I was dependent on a ride so I had to leave, otherwise I could have easily spent many more hours there

This is the California I remember.  I grew up in Los Altos and the bay area.  I don't see sights like this anymore living in San diego.  Beautiful!!!

It is interesting how the poppies can be fantastic in one part of the state and be a total flop elsewhere... have you ever gone to the Poppy Preserve up northeast of LA near Lancaster?  www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=627
