Poppies

Most every spring the Mexican Poppies bloom on the Florida Mountains. How many poppies bloom depends on the spring weather and the winter rains. This year Nature gave us a yellow carpet running from the base of the mountains up as far as a wee bit of soil could be found between the rocks.

My friend Pauli took me to the less accessible east side of the Florida’s in her high clearance truck. It is hard to describe the beauty of the bright yellow flowers, with the contrast of the purple or orange occasional other wild flowers, and the clear blue sky. New Mexico is truly “The Land Of Enchantment” just like it says on our license plates.
