in our garden

I saw a splash of red through the window as we were having our breakfast & found this poppy had opened this morning but is still clinging on to a bit of its green 'coat'.

@crisd @doblaine Thank you - two poppies actually opened this morning and the shot of the other one was somehow better but I used this as I liked the fact it had not shed all its 'coat'.

[Kathrin]

Beautiful.. Love the POV!

[Wendy]

I love these oriental poppies especially those with the dark spots.

[Dan Kerwin]

Really nice close up! That might be my first fav!

@tandem02 @dankerwin Thank you both, especially Dan for the FAV!

@w3n6y There seem to be so many around this summer but maybe I didn't notice them before 365!

Beautiful - always reminds me of someone shaking out an old crumpled silk dress. Lovely shot.

[Arthur Loosley]

Lovely! I can almost feel the effort made by those paper-thin petals to break free.

[Judith Greenwood]

Lovely intense red and I like the struggling to get out pose!

This is lovely. A wonderful macro showing off the deep red of the poppy.
