Lake Elsinore Poppy Bloom
Picture: Golden Poppies, Lake Elsinore, CaliforniaIf you want to photograph golden poppies this year, then I highly recommend heading over to the Lake Elsinore hillsides as soon as possible. On a sunny day, you can see cascades of orange streaming down the hills and mountains on both sides of I-15. There is no guarantee that we'll have a good display at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve this year, so this might be as good as it gets. In fact, this is the first time that we have had decent wildflowers in Southern California since 2005.
I believe the best displays are located further behind the hills and requires hiking some trails to get there. As is, there are some good displays near the road. This photo was taken about halfway up the hill, away from the crowds.
I'd like to photograph some more wildflowers this week when I get the chance though I can't decide where. I know. Such a sad problem to have...

The Poppies in our area haven't started popping yet. It won't be long, however!
Hope you get a good season Sherri. In your area, I know the South Yuba River SP has poppies in the springtime. I tried to photograph that once about five years ago. A bit further south, you'd probably find stuff in the Southern Sierra foothills now.
I'll check in a couple weeks or so. Good excuse for a drive and a hike!
