Longing for Poppy time

Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden in Calgary, on 8 August 2012. I will be so happy when flowers are in bloom here, so that I won't need to search through my archives for colourful shots. I know everyone else must be feeling the same, even though we have just had a wonderfully mild winter.

Gotta dash, as I'm meeting a friend to go birding. The temperature is 7C as I type and is supposed to soar to a balmy 19C this afternoon.
