This gorgeous poppy bloom first saw the light of day yesterday. The photos above were taken at 7:30 as the sunlight was just beginning to beam it's soft rays onto the brand new petals.
An hour later the fresh flower warms in the gentle morning light.
Another hour sees it's beauty spread wide.
Early this morning, our "new" poppy is bowed down trying to shelter from last night's rain, still beautiful in it's own way.

Wonderful. I love the last one and the one against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, love the raindrops!
ReplyDeleteLovely images. I love the fifth one the best.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I particularly like the one of the poppy against the sky - wonderful:-)
ReplyDeleteThe last shot is lovely: almost as if the flower is bowing down in gratitude for welcome rain. [I'm told you have had year-long periods of dought]
ReplyDeleteHannah we live in an area which rarely has severe drought. We have had a rather wet 12 months and flood threats.
ReplyDeleteWow! Each one more beautiful than the last. I especially adore the one against the blue sky.

Wonderful photos - beautiful poppies! Everytime I see photos of this flower, I'm a little disappointed in myself for not planting them. They are on the top of my list for next year. Lovely!

Of all these photos, my favorite is the 5th photo. If I could peek inside the screen and look to the left, I think the sun light would warm my face. Very colorful, crisp, and warm.

I've complained to you once before about my issue of running out of adjectives to explain your photos. Truly, your capturing of them is simply wonderful - and just to highlight that i can't even begin to pick out a favourite.

ReplyDeleteWow!! Gorgeous!! I can't decide if my favourite shot is that first one, or the one with sky as a background, or the one with the raindrops!! I will have to go, take another look!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely set, thanks for sharing. That first after 7:30 with the first rays of sunlight is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThese are all quite beautiful...but I love the one with the clouds in the sky...it makes it seem like it's a giant flower :)
ReplyDeleteWhat AMAZING shots!!!!!!! Your work is simply stunning...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I love the colors and detail you were able to capture. The one against the cloud-filled sky is absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!! Poppies are my favourite flowers because of their tenderness, their delicateness, their meaning in our culture, their simplicity and their complexity at the same time, their colour(s) and many many more reasons. Your photographic eye shows their beauty in a very special way. Loved to see these photos and will come back, whenever I need this treat :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful shots, but the one with the sky as background is simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are pretty! I just love poppies :)
