I adore Poppies!

Monday, July 19, 2010

Well, OK, I love flowers. But Poppies definitely rank amongst my favorites. Just around the corner from our new home is a garden that was simply overflowing with the most amazing Poppies. Unfortunately for me, I was a bit distracted trying to get our new home established and so only recently had a chance to go grab a few shots of the flowers. The Poppies are definitely past their prime as many were gone, leaving seed pods in their stead, but there were plenty still to admire.

And who can ignore the lovely Queen Anne’s Lace. Though I’m betting most have not seen it so up close and personal before… I do love my macro lens!

willowdawn - Thanks ladies! Next year I’ll have to be sure to hit the garden when the entire yard is covered in poppies… it really is spectacular!

Alison – hint received. :)

Lea – the 100mm 2.8 (great lens and I bet if you’re willing to let the boys use your camera, they would have a LOT of fun using it)

Alison - ooooh! those poppy pictures are so beautiful! they are one of my favorite flowers–next to ranunculus I think. I’d buy a 5×7 (or the next size up) of the one with the house in the background if it happend to make it onto your etsy site(hint hint!). those queen anne’s lace are practically perfect as well!
