Poppies just about as far as the eye could see!
Stumbled upon on Old Highway 99 somewhere between Salem and Veneta
July 6, 2013
This field was on farmland in the middle of lots and lots of grass-seed fields. They are probably growing them for seed.

It reminds me of Dorothy and her companion in the Wizard of Oz, coming upon and falling asleep in the poppy field. What a sight to behold, Sallie.

Once again... WOW! If that isn't a beautiful scene that I don't know what it.
There are still some wild golden poppies around here, but summer is taking rapidly.
Very nice photos Sallie!

Nice pictures - do blood red poppies have the same connection to the First WW in the USA as they do in the UK/ Australia?
