18 June
Poppy

This poppy in my garden comes back as reliable as clockwork every year but it only lasts for a very short time. I've taken an early photo today because I'm going to see **Billy Bragg** tonight and I'm not sure I'll be home in time to post a PAD tonight. I have no idea whether Billy Bragg is known outside the UK. He hasn't exactly got a sweet singing voice (!!) but the lyrics are great. I think his most well known song is probably "Looking for a New England' which was covered by Kirsty MacColl.

A great close-up, Gail. I must go around the garden centres for poppies. I love Kirsty McColl's "New England"! I've heard of Billy Bragg and his songs but it's just a bit too boring for me.

Nice colour and detail. Billy Bragg, Ill have to go through my old cassette collection. I'm sure Zak will know what cassettes are! :)

Deep color. Nice detail. I don't know Billy Bragg, but his Bio is interesting, thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous image. I love poppies, but as you say they only last a little while, especially in the typical windy raining British Summers.
