SLP 277

277 days into my year long making of a daily still life and I have a poppy petal to share with you that I found on the ground this morning.There is so much mythology and symbolism connected to the Poppy everything from a death potion to it's opposite a love potion, the latter particularly in the form of seeds. It has been suggested that tracing a love symbol that means something to you using poppy seeds on a poppy-seed cake. Eating the cake activates the spell, this may be because the Romans also associated the poppy with Venus.

Such an interesting narrative - thank you. Fab photo too

A beautifully captured petal.
For your get pushed this week how about night light. Interpret how you like so long that it is obvious that it is night.

@wakelys Susan, sorry but do you mind changing my challenge this week? As it doesn't get dark until 11ish and it is light at about 4.00am, we are in bed whilst it is dark at this time of the year! Hope this is ok and thank you.

@allsop no problem. How about dusk or dawn hoping that the weather is kind. Open to your interpretation.

This is a beautiful photo. The pedal could be made out of china. Very interesting facts about the puppy as well.
