Plain ol’ California Poppies…. I still love ’em when they start popping up all around the valley.

I never tire of the wild mustard that we get during the winter months here in the Napa Valley.
This is just a quick SOOC with my phone next to our little post office.

I love the Napa Valley. We're never without color. The lights of the holidays get us through December, but then the bright yellow wild mustard blankets the valley in January/February…and now comes one of my favorite times…the California Poppies have returned!…springing up in clumps all over the place. 
  Now if we could only get a smidge of rain around here…

My, What Lovely Papaveraceae You Have!

Ok, I’d never seen that word until today either… it’s just the name of the family of flowers that the California Poppy belongs to.
I never get tired of seeing them, and they are blooming all over the Napa Valley right now.
