A couple of days ago I discovered a poppy bush in my garden.
I looked forward to flowering, until this morning.
Delighted to see four of them blossomed,
I immediately ran to them with my camera.

Thank you very much David, Axel an Sinuhe I very much hope that my hands between ups and downs continue to work.
I suffer so much without photography and without my violin.

Lovely selective focus with the centre of the poppy peeping out of the red clouds of softness. Beautifully done, Mary.
