Through the dancing poppies stole
A breeze most softly lulling to my soul.

How gorgeous are Poppies?
For a week or more, after work, I have been driving past a garden full of delightful poppies. Swaying in the wind. Looking all delicate and beautiful. Each day I drove past I would get annoyed because it would be another day that I didn’t bring my camera. After about the fifth day, I wrote a note POPPIES!!!! and left it on my dashboard. Maybe that would make me remember! Well, it did.
So, on Thursday I drove to the place (it is actually the front garden of the local Vet). Parked the car and went inside. Asked them if they would mind if I took photos of their beautiful garden. They were so lovely and said please do. Here is just a small taste of what I took. I am so thrilled. There are many more photos but there is no where to put them (yet).
The Vet is moving premises…as I was out there lying on their grass, snapping away, a few of the staff came out. They said that they were moving to a place that will not have a garden and that they would miss it very much.
Once again, I would really like to thank them for letting me take the shots. Almost makes me want to garden myself (I did say almost).
Poppy Pods and Poppies
Looks almost like a painting to me....

I’m So glad you stopped!! These are stunning photos – I’m so in awe of your amazing bokeh:) Beautiful. I love poppies too, ever since I heard the witch in the Wizard of Oz slowly say ‘Poppies….’ in that memorable voice:) vanessa x

**Sigh**These are fantastic, I’m loving the 50mm. You need to sell these to the vet staff, for their “new walls” think large canvas. Well done. Nicxx
