light pink poppy

"in flanders field, the poppies blow..." -
Lieut.-Col. John McCrae

-o0o-

jogging around the neighbourhood i found a house with a beautiful garden and there were this light pink poppy flowers sticking out of the wire fence. i had seen giant red poppies west of my building but this one was about three blocks east. the colour is quite attractive and even though i don't touch them, they look quite delicate and have a very thin paper-like quality to its petals.

thank you very much for your visits and comments. know that they are much appreciated.

i caught a photo of a swan and i'm excited. to see, please click here: http://365project.org/summerfield/365-again/2012-05-27
and a really old car that we stalked for a few miles just so i could get a good shot: http://365project.org/summerfield/365-again/2012-05-28

Lovely shot we have them appearing randomly in the strangest spots out here a solitary flower on a barren field or sidewalk...and it makes you realise why they provoke memories and tributes for the fallen
