Spring Poppies in the Merced River Canyon
Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 01:21PM Yesterday I drove up Highway 140 to Yosemite and witnessed one of the most spectacular poppy blooms I've seen in my twenty years in California. The hills radiated sunshine generated by the orange fire of the poppies.
Here's a video I made of the poppies:
Below are a sampling of photographs as well. For more images you can visit my photo gallery.

Wow!! Looks like a bumper crop of the gold stuff! Lucky you to time your visit for the poppy bloom. Say howdy to the owl's clover for me, please!
Great video too - thanks for posting that!
