A few weeks ago my wife and I went to Lake Elsinore to look at the poppies there but it was a bit early and the expected super bloom had not fully happened yet. This week we went back and were not disappointed!

My wife and I went to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve to photograph poppies, when we arrived there we found out that the poppies hadn't bloomed yet, that it would be 2 to 3 more weeks before full bloom. Luckily, we met some Korean Ladies that had just come from the Lake Elsinore area where they said the poppies were in bloom. We drove down to LA and rested over night and the next day went to Lake Elsinore, it was pouring rain but we still managed to get some decent images.
