Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve.
I grew up in the Antelope Valley.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures. I sure do miss being out there.
As a personal aside, though, it also really irritates me when I see crowds of people just walking right through the middle of the poppies and trampling them down. mad
Anyway, judging by Rod's pics, it looks like the area had a real banner year for poppies this year. Probably all that El Nino rainfall that happened during winter.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
