Poppies

Spring ripples through luscious flowery plots. Manoeuvring into a large cul-de-sac I climb a low stile only to find a picturesque scene, vast field of poppies red.

Pretty! I love poppies and took a picture in one such field in Vermont, USA. My grandma would make some yummy poppy bread. She was a good cook!

Nothing more beautiful than a field of red poppies, always reminds me of the fallen. Enjoy your weekend Victor. Tom
