| Straight out of the camera (SOOC) - no editing or cropping |
Yesterday was one of those days I was extremely grateful to be home most the day. By 8am this brilliant orange poppy had popped its cap off and quickly unfolded its crumpled, pristine petals for the world to see. Many times I wandered down to capture it's transient glory with my camera and to just admire the vivid pop of colour amongst the mostly green surrounds.
Today its full head is bowed over, touching the ground, drenched in this morning's raindrops.
Here are some of yesterday's treasures for you to enjoy too.

I have never seen a poppy captured this way and it is remarkable. I love the contrast with the black background but the joy of the sun and blue sky made me feel all warm and happy...the poppy itself seemed to have life flowing through it....beautiful!
