Poppy art

I often tend to post a photo of a vibrant flower when our weather is overcast and grim. Today's (28 February 2016) forecast is for a mix of sun and clouds, but yesterday afternoon, we had some snow. I'd almost forgotten what snow looks like, this winter has been so mild! Not good for farmers, of course, with so little moisture during the winter months. Also not good as far as forest and bush fires are concerned, with everywhere being so very dry.

This macro photo was taken on 24 June 2015, when I called in at the Reader Rock Garden after a volunteer shift. I always love to see Poppies, at any stage - bud, flower and seedpod.
