poppies by the wheat field

Just across the road from the scene I posted recently of Matterley Bowl where Eisenhower addressed the troops in 1944, poppies have colonised the margin of a wheat field.

Considering that many of those soldiers did not come back from war, I like to think ot these poppies in 2023 as a natural memorial.

Bright poppies under a threatening sky. Somehow it feels right as a memorial for so many young lives cut down.

A lovely place for them to be in honour of the fallen and a great capture Hazel with the foreboding clouds over the area.

I imagine the poppies are self seeded - but maybe a farmer planted them. Rather lovely anyway.
