Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, Friday, March 22

Couple of cell phone shots from a visit to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. Came about 9:30am. Since it was relatively early, on a workday, and before the park had arrived on social media radar, I was able to park in the park. When I left, they were encouraging people to park on the road, south of the park. Long backup coming from the east.
Having read that the bloom was starting from the east, and knowing that the rising sun would warm the poppies facing southeast, first, I walked that trail. Limited time due to work obligations, so no time to see it all.

It was pretty cold that morning, and the poppies didn't unfurl until about 11am. Lots of buds visible in these shots, so you can see that peak was a bit in the future. But pretty nice, already. Not sure if I will try to squeeze in a return in a few weeks.
