Thanks. Once again, the luck involved with the opportunity. I was walking in Madera Canyon looking for some interesting photos to put on a new POM section I just started on the Friends of Madera Canyon website that I just updated. The morning was quite cool, and I found a small patch of poppies that had just opened up. But this one was just emerging from the shade of some heavy tall grass and mesquite.
My community photo club has challenge running now with the topic of Textures - and I think this will fit into that.
