Never seen them massed like that. It must be amazing to stand amongst them.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

What an amazing sight!

Are they Welsh Poppies?

During the 2018 superbloom they were so thick on the hillsides, motorists were parking along the interstate highway to get out and photograph them, which is not permitted except for emergencies. "No Parking" signs have been put up even on surface roads in the area to discourage traffic hazards.

This year they're back, but not in the profusion of last time. I found a backroad to get in amongst these.

Their appearance is not a regular, annual event, here, and seems to be dependent on the somewhat unpredictable rainfall patterns we have.
