It's spring (in the Northern hemisphere, anyway) and the wildflowers are blooming, so I thought I'd do a seasonal Shadow Shot Sunday. This is a California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) in Morgan Territory Regional Park.
Shadow Shot Sunday explained; this week's edition here.

Tom, that is exquisite! Beautiful color, and a SPRING shadow! at last! Have a great weekend!
Nice combination of genres, and beautiful picture. Well done, sir!
I adore this shot. I totally miss California poppies. They're so rich and happy. I'm from Los Angeles, but now live in Houston, Texas. Now I get to warm up to Texas Bluebonnets. I love them, but, c'mon, they're no comparison to those gorgeous bright orange poppies, right?
Me too...bring on the buds of spring!!! Beautiful shot!
there is nothing more lovely than a California poppy. the shadows are beautiful.
Beautiful close up shot...love those different textures of orange..
What a beautiful flower! WOW!
Nice shot. Fantastic pop, and such color saturation. I went w/orange this week myself.
(I was thinking a couple of days ago about how your blue wildflower on IIRTZ would qualify as a SSS.)
The shadow seems like a fanfare for the coming of your spring! Quite dynamic on that poppy!
That is a gorgeous Poppy, great shadow shot!
What a pretty poppy flower! I have a long wait until spring comes around again, so it was nice to see this cheerful spring shadow :)
Simply stunning - very Georgia O'Keefe. Here in Queensland we really only have two seasons - summer and, well, mild summer. It does get cold by our standards, but we miss those stunning blossoms of spring and magnificent autumn leaves.
what an exquisite shot! i love the color, too.

great shot, would make a wonderful painting! the shot makes the simple poppy look very exotic.
I like your post. I thought it's a poster or something.
Mum send her regards to all who joined this meme.
Have a nice Sunday.
That's a beautiful shot.
We love poppys...and you have captured it well! A very pretty shadow shot indeed!
Thanks, y'all! I love poppies--they're such a rich subject, I could shoot them all day...
Great photo! You should enter it at Today's Flower Meme, too!
What a beautiful picture..so colorful. Can't wait for my poppies to bloom..will take a little longer here..Happy SSS..
What glorious color! It reminds me of the saffron robes of Buddhist monks. Beautiful composition, lighting, focus... really outstanding.
Very nice and vibrant colours.
