This is the time of year when the roadsides of California are alight with bright orange poppies. It is always quite a show. In Arcata they were just opening for the most part, but the closer I got to San Francisco on the way back yesterday the more I saw. This specimen was in a particularly sunny spot along one of the trails at Arcata Marsh.
