California
poppies are one of the few flowers I like and appreciate. I don't
really care about flowers all that much. I mean, I'm not like DIE
FLOWERS DIE, but they're just whatevs. Except for poppies. They make me
super happy for some reason. Maybe they are one of the few things I
associate with memories from when I was a kid besides my family and the
beach. I have a shit memory and can
barely remember things that happened last year much less 30 years ago.
But I remember being fascinated by poppies when I was little. If you
aren't aware, California poppies close up at night into little buds and
spread open wide when the sun comes up. That's just so cool.
Today was gray and overcast so this little poppy field in the middle of campus had mostly closed buds. I snapped this right before I had to go in and bust heads with the people trying to ruin our Africa trip. Good thing I saw these first.
