Poppies, Poppies & More Poppies

"These too are of a burning color--not orange, not gold, but if pure gold were liquid and could raise a cream, that golden cream might be like the color of the poppies."
~ John Steinbeck

Continuing with the poppy theme from yesterday, I paid a return visit to the little poppy glade today to see if they were in bloom. 
I was happy to see that they were indeed in full-on bloom mode, so I found a spot to park my car and set about the task of photographing them from every angle I could think of. 
These flowers are so delightfully beautiful that they make any photograph special; therefore I found it to be a little bit difficult to single out just one to feature today, but here it is - my favorite poppy photo for May 2016.
