Always on the quest for perfect poppy pictures; I've discovered that the best shots are the ones that have a clean background behind them. They are just so delicate that they get sucked up in anything too busy. Stone walls are nice and work, but not nearly as well as blue sky. Then, on my way home I discovered another background that works nicely. I'm not sure what it is today about solitary poppies. They both needed to be my star!
And, I have more! I found fields on my walk today and really enjoyed them. Can't believe that it is still so cold where you are, but I have no frame of reference for that far north! Stay warm and enjoy your coffee-that sounds good too-especiall in your overalls! Love, Laury
