Superbloom CA Poppies

Postby BarbaraRose » Sat Mar 02, 2019 3:14 am

I spent a few hours up in Lake Elsinore today checking out the amazing "superbloom" of poppies on the hillsides up there due to the very wet winter we have had here.

Thank you for the pictures. They are beautiful. The pasture here is almost a solid yellow but I think they are weeds that came in with the rye grass seed. If it wasn't so wet the guy that has the cows would have mowed them.

Barbie!! Hold on a just a minute here!

Your poppy photos are excellent. Composition, color, subject: you have nailed it, my dear.

You should DEFINITELY look into posting them on one of the $$stock image repositories$$, of which there are a few:

Shutterstock (my favorite)
https://www.shutterstock.com

Istock (Getty Images)
https://www.istockphoto.com

There are others as well, these are just the two that I have used.

Seriously!

We are talking potential dollars in your pocket here!

It won't happen all at once, but this could develop into a new career for you at most, or add a little to your bank account, at least.

I say GO FOR IT!!

Your photos actually took my breath away. I have rarely seen flower photos so good as these.

Thank you so much for your compliments. :D I love taking photos. I would like to get a SLR camera and take some classes. Ann, thanks for the suggestion! I will look into posting them on-line at one of those sites.

Good grief!!

You took this quality of photos and you don't have an SLR camera?

Man, now I am really impressed.

Barbie, so beautiful. You are a talented photographer. I will miss my deck and planting flowers so will take a page out of your book and ride around enjoying other gardens.
