Beauty - flower and bokeh


Problems with Flickr this morning - sometimes I can't connect to Flickr, other times only the photo appears with no tags, comments, etc., can't always add tags, and so on.
Fortunately, at least the Gladioli and Hollyhocks were still in bloom and in good condition on 26 August 2015, when I called in briefly at the Reader Rock Garden after an afternoon volunteer shift. Most of the flowers have finished for the season and many of the ones that do still exist are past their prime. Still managed to get a few photos, though, including this little white Iceland Poppy. I think I like the colourful bokeh as much as the flower itself..
This species is native to subpolar regions of Europe, Asia and North America, and the mountains of Central Asia (but not in Iceland). They were first described by botanists in 1759.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaver_nudicaule
I wasn't sure whether I should go there or not, as the air quality was very poor for a number of days recently, due to smoke blowing across from the devastating forest fires in Washington State, northwest US. Hopefully, the rain that fell in the last few days has helped all the firefighters fight the flames. Today, 1 September 2015, is the first day back to school for the public school kids, and the sun is shining and the air at least looks clear.
