The foothills are in bloom!
Lots of Poppies in and around Three Rivers, many right by Lake Kaweah.
Spent some time at Salt Creek/Case Mountain BLM last weekend. There are some nice poppy displays on the south west slopes.

Michael,

I would love to see a wider expanse image of this area also. Did you happen to take one? I have never seen the terain up there and wondered if it looks interesting.

I mostly shot close ups Derek.
This one was taken for humorous reasons...

Wow,

I that is a pretty steep slope! And I guess you weren't the only one out there. It would take some serious PS to clone out those human elements. :razz:

Thanks for posting,

Derek

I was with those two and at first glance I thought Robert was focusing on Allen's backside, gave them a hard time about it and snapped this pic.
