Mexican Poppies

So, here are some Mexican Poppies I promised. I think it was our first year in Southern Arizona. We had gone down to Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge on the Mexican border looking for pronghorn and anything else we could find. (With some luck by the way). Driving back through the little town of Arivaca (where there is a second section of BANWR -- this one a birder's heaven). About five miles past Arivaca we started seeing these wildflowers everywhere. Finally, we thought a photo was appropriate. With all the rain we've had this year we expect to have a beautiful wildflower season (late March through April). We'll see. I learned that I can only make one weather prediction with absolute certainty: JUNE WILL BE HOT!
