Angelwolf,
That is a gorgeous photo!! You inspired me to visit the Poppy Reserve this last Saturday. It was beautiful! Here are two of my shots.

Great shots yourself! If you want to go there again, let me know and maybe we can go together? It's so boring going alone..

I love both your photos. What are the purple flowers? And your depth of field is done really, really well. Cheerfulkim, I love the orange of the poppys behind the purple flowers.

As for the Poppy fields, they aren't very heavy this year, are they? I think the area needs a good burn to allow the poppys to regenerate once again. If you saw these fields 15 years ago, they were wall to wall orange. The same on the mountainside leaving the AV at the 14/138 merge. I love spring. I would really like to get out to Death Valley and see the spring growth out there.

cheerfulkim,
Great shots.
I can't tell you how happy I am to see another K10D user on this forum!
Keep 'em coming!

A fellow skier who lives in Topango Canyon took this picture last weekend when he had a vistor come to his back porch.

That is an awesome shot skierbob. Thanks for sharing.

Great photo, but too bad the cat has become so accustomed to people that it is not afraid to be so close to a house.

PinonMesa Jon,
I love my Pentax! You asked me a while ago what lenses I used to get the flower shots, but I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to take out my case. But here they are. My friend described them as "vintage" lenses! First I put on a Sigma Tele-Macro 2X-1:1, then I add a Soligar 80-200 Zoom+Macro, both film lenses. I have to set my camera to manual focus because these lenses are old! No auto focus- that's why some of my shots are a little blurry still. I really need to invest in a good tripod next. I still don't know what I'm doing, but I have so much fun going out and experimenting. I love doing the macro flower shots and playing with depth of field. Here's another one from last week.

Okay, last poppy shots, I promise! This is from Elsinore, two weeks ago.

Nice cat shot.
Beautiful eyes, but don't open the door.

Nice poppies.

Mogli is all grown up, he is almost 2 years old.... but he will always be MY BABY! and he knows he is..

gypsywolf · « **Reply #563 on:** Apr 04, 08, 08:52:31 PM »

Awwwwwwwwwwww.....

He is the most gorgeous animal. I bet he will be the center of attention at the pet show

I could look into those eyes for hours.

Angelwolf · « **Reply #564 on:** Apr 04, 08, 09:07:20 PM »

Thanks GW.... He will definitely have fun at the Pet Expo. He will also draw visitors to our booth, everyone wants to touch him. He is so extremely friendly, he loves everyone!!!

Nice shots, Surfer Dude! I am hoping to get some pictures of the Joshuas in bloom before it's too late.

love_walnuts · « **Reply #568 on:** Apr 07, 08, 04:44:08 PM »

Nice pics, SD. Curious, what is that purple bulb on the Joshua near the usual white flower cluster? Looks kind of like a purple artichoke

BPSquirrel · « **Reply #569 on:** Apr 18, 08, 10:44:59 AM »

Found at the Poppy Park....white poppies

Mark experimenting with the new Sony A200,

I took this pic last weekend. It's a picture of the first women to ever solicit business on Sierra Highway. Does anyone remember her? Or what corner she stood on?

Anyone know where she is working now?

Angelwolf · « **Reply #572 on:** Apr 18, 08, 10:27:29 PM »

Taken this evening on Swarthout.

cheerfulkim · « **Reply #573 on:** Apr 19, 08, 12:16:53 PM »

Angelwolf and BP SSquirrel,
Love the photos! Beautiful! And SkierBob, No clue. Who is she? Was it a carhop sort of place?

I took these pictures this morning in my neighbor's yard. I love these tulips, because the neighbors are only here a couple of times a year and no one maintains the yard, and yet these tulips bloom faithfully year after year.

Here are the others.
