The calendar hanging on our refrigerator correctly designates April 22 as Earth Day. I consider the celebration to be a year-long event. Our celestial home deserves more than 24 hours out of the 8,760 during a typical year.
So, commemorating today before you do tomorrow, I present the Featured Image, taken because of the California Poppy’s color. Unfortunately, breeze blew by just as I clicked the camera’s shutter, so point of focus isn’t exactly where intended but close enough.
By the way, you are looking at the state flower. I used Leica Q2‘s dedicated Macro mode, which is activated by turning a ring around the lens barrel. Vitals: f/2.8, ISO 100, 1/1600 sec, 3:59 p.m. PDT, today. Composed as shot.
