evening snow with hillcrest of poppies     antelope valley ca 2001 It's very rare to see evening snow open in sunlight but the previous night of heavy rain and cool temps at time of photo teased the flowers into opening early just before sunset. California poppies have almost closed up for the day. Canon T-90, tokina 28-70sd/polarizer, f-22, velvia < previous / next > < gallery 3
