bursting open



I looked out this morning to see our first poppies had burst open, an ornamental and a wild variety. It seemed a perfect opportunity to practice using the new camera, we didn't have long I had a train to catch, but managed a couple of shots. Aren't they glorious flowers? The colours, the frills and those eyelashes! I love them and just wish they lasted longer, instead they get thrashed about by the torrential showers of rain we keep having - poor things.

  2. They are beautiful, our garden is getting all wintry here and not many flowers left. You would love Floriade in Canberra here x

  3. I love how the landscape goes from yellows of rape to the whites of cows parsley and then the red of poppies come along. They've not made too much of an appearance here but there's a filed I drive past everyday that is always bursting with them.
    Hope you're enjoying your new camera.. So much fun having a new toy to play with!
