Alongside State Hwy 395, just south of Lee Vining (a small town next to Mono Lake), the prickly poppies or thistle poppies grow in abundance in the dry, pumice-rich soil of the sub-Alpine zone of the Eastern High Sierras.
Join the 5th round of ABC Wednesday, created by Mrs. Nesbitt.

Great photos! I'm envious of this trip. I've been to Lee Vining and Mono Lake and love the whole area.
Great photos, happy to know the name of those poppies.

Beautiful composition - cloud-mountain-black road-white flowers. This 'just pull over here while I take a photo' motif is coming through strongly in your shots just now!
