Some of the colour of Spring

Our daily walks have exposed Fiona, I and our visitor Muna to an abundance of colour; and the warm weather has rewarded us with a daily harvest of Poppies to bring colour into the house.

Thought I would share a few images.

The orange and yellow Poppies have almost been like bring sunshine indoors. All photos were taken with the iPhone; so  a single delicate Poppy petal offered the opportunity for a little alteration.

Nature often offers such beauty.

  2. Poppies always remind me of our previous home in Sydney. We often had HUGE bunches of poppies in the house. They really are unique and gorgeous.

  4. the poppies are just so beautiful - i don't have those, wonder if i could grow them, hmmm...
    nature really does get it just so perfect - the subtle colors of winter, followed by vibrant colors of spring flowers, greens of summer, and then the beauty of fall...
    so much to appreciate every day -
