Poppy

Something fascinates me about the inside of a poppy!

I wanted to do a full flower shot of this but it rained so much as this was opening that the outside of the petals almost look like they've gone rusty. It doesn't look pretty!

(Taken on 18th to fill a gap created by sitting on the M3 for almost three hours on 17th going nowhere. Hope the three men involved in the accident make a full recovery.)
Boo
this is lovely, I too love the insides of poppies and I am waiting for mine to open ...still!

The insides always appeal to me love how the petals are folding around as if to protect it : great capture !

@paul2782 Thanks, Paul, was on my way out to a meeting, and had a feeling it might rain, so was worried the shot might not be there when I got home, so there I was IN the flower bed in my suit, and office shoes at 8.30 this morning!! (the things we do for our art!!)

@paul2782 oh no really? You see I haven't really got over my "taking photos in public phobia yet" - I'd be terrified of that......that's bad isn't it, nearly six months into this project!!?

@nicolaeastwood no not really I hate taking photographs of people except Wedding Commissions but they are easy pickings as you have total control !

Oh very pretty - I've never seen one this colour. And isn't the centre a lovely colour - definitely worth muddy work clothes!

Gorgeous shot of the inner poppy. I too think the insides are most fascinating, you have captured them very beautifully.
