white poppies

clare likes to see the goldfish in the courtyard of the hotel san jose on our way back from joe's coffee shop. these little poppies by the reflecting pond are so floppy and friendly looking that i had to draw them, so i brought a camera one day.

i've explained to clare how the hairy, little pods open up into flowers, and it's so fun to see her get excited about a pod that opened up overnight that wasn't there the day before...
