22 June

Passed these poppies at the weekend but today thought I would get in amongst them.
Many of them, like this one, had obviously had their petals blown or washed away in the storms on Sunday.
The red background is a poppy that had kept its petals!

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
1/400s f/3.2 at 105.0mm ISO 200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

do you know, I looked at these in my garden today and thought 'hhhmmmm - I'll get a shot of one of these one day'.....but I doubt I'd beat this!

Very nice macro work. Inspires me to get out and get down and dirty with nature again. Thanks.

Now the thing is to wait and get seeds from it or lop it off and have another bloom later in the year :-)

Very nice, thought you'd taken it home and set it up indoors at first!
