Poppy by phil_sandford

Poppy

Like many people on the 365Project in the UK, I have been seeking high and low for a poppy field. There are none back home in Lincolnshire, but this evening I found a field in darkest Wiltshire, that has some poppies.

There weren't many and what there was were located quite a way away from each other.

For the sake of my 365Project, with no care for my well being, I have wearing just training shoes without socks and a pair of shorts, walked deep into a cornfield to capture a number of photographs of poppies.

After uploading this I need to head, post-haste, back to my week day accommodation and get some antihistamines in me.
It was worth the effort mate. Lovely shot. We were in Sleaford this weekend and saw what I assume was a poppy filled, there were a couple of actual poppies at least. Maybe if we'd have ventured that way a week or two earlier were might have seen a field in boom within the lovely flowers. Oh well, there's always next year 😊😊

@paul10 Thanks mate.

I frequently type 'lively' when it is supposed to be 'lovely'. As Carole says, little keys, fat fingers.

Back better but not right. Down SW in Catole's car (better seating position). Have Chiropractor's Appt in 2 weeks down here - hopefully he will sort me out.
