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.

ReplyDeletenature 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...
