Inside a Giant Poppy

What a great macro! Nature is a fantastic artist!

Breathtakingly beautiful.

like velvet !

Patterns and colours of nature. Perhaps, I should never try to better that my friend. Another great from you here.

Cheers, Herb

Lovely capture, they are beautiful Keith.
Have a nice weekend :-)

I thought this was an anemone or jellyfish from first glance at the thumbnail. WOOT is that spectacular! The details are just GOBSMACKING! :D Love the angle, love the richness of colors, the fine, exquisite details. How dear to me poppies are and this picture is PERFECTION. Mother Nature has created such loveliness for us. Aren't poppies the BEST? No matter what stage, they are incredibly photogenic. This is stunning!!

LOL, in regards to your comment about my bikes and bridge shot, Glad you managed to fit in a bike ride after your drive to the new camp site and that it was so enjoyable. I'm still smiling after reading about your attempts to cycle in soft sand - it sounded like wheely good fun :-)) (Sorry)!...I couldn't help but giggle furiously and Steve wanted to know what the silliness was about...he most definitely groaned in pained misery when he heard your comment and told me to tell you that you couldn't have been too sorry! :D :D

Glad you liked my pictures...it's such fun to share some scenics that are a little like yours! :)

Thank you so much Janet...............for this and all your wonderful comments on my photos.

I shall apologise now for my bad puns................but don't expect me to stop using them..!!

Wow !!

Fantastic macro and so beautiful!!!!

Stunning capture of the heart of this Poppy. Tack sharp details. Well done Keith Regards Tess.

You have a very good neighbour Keith :) ....I love the vast red petals of the Oriental poppy and the inside is just as beautiful, as your superb picture shows. They are a lovely addition to a garden. I would like some myself.

Thanks Rosa..............I shall be grabbing some seeds from this one in due course! My immediate neighbours are quite used to me wandering round their front gardens taking flower and insect photos. I have permission to do so of course, but I suspect they think I'm a bit odd..........and they may be right :-))

Thanks to everyone who has looked at, commented and/or left me a yellow star! It's always appreciated.

Wow! It's a strange world in there! Excellent macro.

Glad you like it Diane..............thanks very much!

Der mittlere Teil sieht aus wie eine Torte. Großartiges Makro!

I thought that too! I bet it doesn't taste like one though :-))

simply WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
