Light on the Poppies by maggiemae

Light on the Poppies

Family arrived today so there was no time for photos other than a quick peak at the popular poppies! I tried a close up from far away to see what the difference would be.

Three good things;
1. Being a good hostess and a supportive stepmother is easy if everything goes right!
2. Forgot to put the meat in the oven (good thing most of them are vegetarians)
3.Its Friday and tomorrow we have to get all of them into 2 cars to leave at 9.45am!
I love the light and shadows on the poppies. Hope you have a wonderful time with your family

Very exotic looking poppies. Gorgeous.

The lighting is wonderful in this; as though the rays are pressing through the canopy to reach the leaves hidden below.

They're not only popular peonies, they're perfectly purple.

@olivetreeann They do look rather like peonies with all their frilly petals but they are poppies! Popular purple and pretty poppies!
