My flower image was shot in April at the Willow Wood Arboretum in Morris County, NJ. That park is a real treasure and I STILL haven't finished culling the bad ones and processing the keepers, but I loved this Golden Poppy:

Hi Vickie, Your Poppy is lovely, so sunny and cheerful! I love all yellow flowers..well maybe I just love all flowers! You captured the light just perfectly:)

I love that technique where the background is almost faded out and the star of the show is in full bloom. This is certainly pure gold.

I didn't know poppies came in this color, how beautiful. Great shot.

Hi, Vicki! I love your yellow poppies. I hadn't seen them in this color before. I think they are oriental poppies, right? I recently took some photos of california poppies which I haven't unloaded from my camera yet. Thanks for a beautiful snapshot.
