I just had to participate in Cee’s challenge FOTD today because, well, the poppies are almost gone as are we.
People came from miles around to see the Mexican poppies, purple lupines, and other wildflowers on the mountain and in the state park.
Sadly, they only last a few weeks of the year, and they are mostly gone now, just like we will be tomorrow.
I never dreamed I’d be so emotional about leaving this place, but I’m ready to move on to the next adventure…after we visit family and friends in Ft Worth. For now, let’s say goodbye to the poppies together! Until next time!

I don’t know anything about fauna and flora, but I can say the images were beautiful, and all I could think was, “and poppies will put them
To sleeeeeep! Sleeeeeepp”

Up until right now, I hadn’t even thought about it. If I did, I would have probably assumed the technicolor film changed them to red. But now I’m thinking about it and the context of your comment, so I am also assuming that means that poppies have different colors!!! Ooooh! Learn something new!
