Yes, the Poppies are definitely popping out here in California. And get ready for a party, folks -- because out here in California April 6 is our official Poppy Day.

I think the most curious thing about poppies is that they love to grow in what the Wikipedia calls "disturbed areas" -- along gullies and barren roadsides.

Elegant and graceful -- and of course intensely colorful. If they had legs I'm sure they would dance...
Come back tomorrow and I'll show you more.
By the way, folks, I want to thank each and every one of you for visiting AphotoAday. I've been doing this for a while now and can remember the lonely days when only a handful of folks were stopping by -- so I was absolutely amazed a few weeks ago when I put a counter on the blog; only to find that I'm now getting upwards of 170 to 180 "unique homepage visits" (no dupes) each weekday. I've noticed that on weekends the total drops a bit to about 130 or 140 -- but I'm going to assume that's because a lot of you are out either taking photos or doing whatever else rings your bell. But again, thank you for visiting -- and please tell your friends.
