Picnic at Antelope Valley


This lockdown means that I have fewer excuses to avoid looking out the old scanner, and scanning some more of the backlog of slides. If I do 100 per day, then... gulp.

This slide, in a large box-full, with a posting date of June 2011, is labelled "Antelope Valley 4-16-83", so the blog title seems appropriate.

Today I learned that Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve State Natural Reserve exists, and yes, does seem to be the location of this slide.
