Last Matilija Poppies of the Season

Before the end of the Matilija poppy season, one more bike ride was taken to the special spot where people are friendly to my spreading art supplies all over the walkway and poppies are growing in a way so that I can see them from all angles. These are very tall plants if you let them grow and often by the end of the season I need a ladder to see them from above yet in this place there are always some plants low enough for me to draw even while sitting (which is a given with the A3 sketchbook im working in now).
