Red Swathe by fbailey

Red Swathe

One from yesterday - not exactly a field full, but definitely a large swathe:) I've been looking all summer for a field of poppies without success, and after taking sunflower pictures I turned around and in the field opposite there they were ...
great find!

I found an area at work this morning covered in poppies, but as I'm not allowed to take pictures on site had to leave it. Nice picture ๐Ÿ™‚

How wonderful!

Well spotted, lovely capture :)

You finally found one! Now all you need is a girl in a floaty dress lying amid the poppies and you'll have recreated that famous painting.

Lovely capture! It's so exciting when you finally find one isn't it?
July 27th, 2017  
Lovely capture, If only all days were like that :-)

There's nothing like a poppy field. Gorgeous.

A sight which was once common and now quite rare.. i've not come across one this year, like you i have been looking.. but, unlike you, i haven't found a gorgeous scene like this..
i really like the composition.. the sloping hedge and the edge of the woodland help to carry the eye around the frame.. But, of course it is the poppies who take centre stage..
it's a quintessential British summer meadow and it is beautiful..

@jessikapanteleios @cindymc @jetr @jclaireyp @pdulis @littleconnie @jorlam Thanks to each and everyone for taking the time to view and comment. I was over the moon to see this as I'd searched and searched and now thought their time must have come and gone. So happy you liked this one.
July 28th, 2017  
So great you have found this. It looks amazing.
July 28th, 2017  
@dkbarnett Thank you! I was so happy - and I was so focused on the sunflowers in front I hadn't spotted them right behind me ...
July 28th, 2017  
A beautiful field of poppies :)
July 28th, 2017  
Two fields of sunshine.. today's poppies and yesterday's sunflowers. Both good to see
July 28th, 2017  
So nice to see a vibrant field like this!
July 28th, 2017  
Beautiful find and capture - the poppies seem to glow.
July 28th, 2017

What a gorgeous sight
July 28th, 2017  
Looks very pretty.
July 28th, 2017  
Aren't they just stunning. My shot of a few poppies is far inferior!
July 28th, 2017  
@suesouthwood @peadar Thanks very much:)
@megpicatilly Thanks Catherine, I looked for your poppy pic but couldn't find it. One of my favorite photos of this year is the inside of just a single poppy which I didn't bother to put here.
July 28th, 2017  
That's gorgeous. I've noticed the field near us that usually has loads of poppies in has been completely cleared this year so I'm unlikely to get a shot like this which is a shame xx
July 29th, 2017  
Wow, beautiful

@psychographer Thanks Lisa, they seem to be getting quite scarce these days. Guess it might be the pesticides etc they sprsy in the fields.
