California Poppy Festival 2011, a set on Flickr. We didn’t expect the California Poppy Festival to be your run-of-the-mill small town carnival; we expected fields of blooming poppies a la The Wizard of Oz. We were lucky enough to ask a LASD officer a good scenic route, and he recommended a small northern route around Los Padres rather than the direct freeway. What we found were fields of blooming poppies lining the road. Although it’s not a good year for them, there were still enough to get a great photo.
