Alright, Alright...Give Me a Minute!
My wife, @wfmkay, wanted to go to the casino today, it being St Patrick's Day and all, and I agreed. Since I had my camera with me anyway, I pulled over to take some pictures of the California Poppies that are blooming now, since it is the State Flower. Who wouldn't? Right? Well, Mrs. Impatient had to honk the the horn and startle me, almost causing me to miss this shot, almost...I hope you appreciate what I went through to get this shot.

Oh, these are stunning and you captured them oh-so-perfectly~! Flowers are not that easy to do, despite the fact that they don't move.
Nicely done!!!
Oh no. These were definitely moving thanks to the wind. I’m glad you liked them. Thanks for taking a look.
I was wondering if that slight blur was from the wind or from you being startled by the horn;-) That’s really a beautiful picture!
Ha ha! Thanks for the kind words and upvote.
You got it;-)
Well, that makes it even more gorgeous! Even the slightest breeze shows! Nice job!
Thank you very much!

You bet! State flower of the Golden State. Thanks for stopping.
Maybe someday it’ll be known as cryptofornia? 🤷🏽♂️

Could be...could be :-)
Cool dreamy shot!
Nice shot! Sweet colours.
I hope you and your wife win big at the casino yesterday!
I also saw your wife's post. She's got a sense of humour. I don't know why I hadn't followed her earlier. Sometimes, I can be a bit slow.
Right, I need to sit you both down, so I can hear both sides of the stories. I am sure it will be very interesting.
Now, now Vincent. You only need to hear one side of this story. BTW, although she had fun, my wife did not come home a winner. I, on the other hand, found a dime on the ground and came home ahead.
I am so happy for you! :-)
