oriental poppies are one of my very favorite flowers, I love the large orange blooms, the foliage and even the hanging seed pod as the plant matures. Recently on a drive in the mountains I came across a rare find where I live, a large hillside in a wild area covered with the biggest poppies I have ever seen. They were brilliant and the sight was breathtaking. Drat--I didn't have a camera with me.
Your beautiful pictures remind me of The Wizard of Oz where Dorthy and her friends sleep in a field of poppies. One of my favorite films, btw. Have a great day.
Hello! These are stunning photos (and I confess, I'm with Michelle in calling up the Wizard of Oz). This is a beautiful blog. Congratulations on your POTD mention--well deserved!
All 3 photographs are wonderful, but the middle one is awesome. Oops, am trying to clear that word from my adjective list. Our paster said only God is Awesome. I agree, so I guess I will change that to gorgeous!
A fabulous color! Great job Lisa!
ReplyDeleteAwesome macro shots!!

These are wonderful shots of the poppy. They seem like such delicate flowers.
ReplyDeleteMan, the first thing I thought about was the cycle of life... Doesn't this really represent that? Wow... Look what I have to look forward to. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm sensing a theme here... witches on broomsticks, poppies...
ReplyDeleteAnd Toto too?
Fantastic poppy photos! I have found them hard to shoot, because of the lack of contrast in the petals. I never seem to have the right light.
ReplyDeleteThese are great!
