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....
