Poppy doing the salsa

I wonder if poppies know that tomorrow they have to be somber and proper? Because it's late spring here we have the real flowers everywhere at the moment. Some would even classify them as weeds - they are peeping through cracks in the pavements and along the railway lines and roads. So very, very pretty.
