Peaceful Field of Poppies!

Spring in Colorado has it's ups and downs weather-wise.  Hot, sunny one day, snowing the next!  You just never know.  However, one thing you can count on is the gorgeous flowers that grow along the highways, especially if you are heading up to the mountains. 

    Poppies are one of my favorite flowers, so imagine my surprise when I came across these little beauties sprouting up in an open field.  Only a few steps off the highway and I was able to spend some time getting up close with these glorious orange flowers. 

    Next time you are driving around, stop and take time to smell the flowers and shoot a few too.  You'll be glad you did.  Peaceful poppies to you!
