Poppies Seen From Above: Super Bloom Wows SoCal

Poppies. Everywhere there are poppies! and nowhere are they more beautiful than as seen from the air above.

Recently, NASA’s Glenn Graham, director of Safety and Mission Assurance, who is also a pilot, flew above the Antelope Valley’s poppy fields.

Graham flew the center’s T-34 mission support aircraft, and photographer Jim Ross snapped these amazing photos.

"Due to a very rainy winter season, the desert is covered in a canopy of yellow and orange blooming poppies," Graham shared over Twitter.

Never has the state flower of California looked so amazing.
