I LOVE Poppies and loved the hairy and spotted detail on the bud covering of this one. Such a brilliant colour, which I think looks beautiful against the greenery. Seen in a friend's garden recently - if you see this one, Dorothy and Stephen, thank you! Posting early today, as I am going out shortly to see if I can find the Great Gray Owl again as well as a family of Mountain Bluebirds. Was out all morning, walking at Edworthy Park (including the Douglas Fir Trail).

Fiona, I hope the pain level stays low and that the boredom factor rapidly disappears : ) Hope it won't be too many more days before you are able to be out and about. Take care, love Mum Created with fd's Flickr Toys .

I can never resist taking a photo when I see a poppy seedpod. I think this one almost looks as if it has a hairy Tarantula lying on top of it. Taken in the most wonderful homestead garden east of Nanton, Alberta.

What we can miss if we don't stop and examine things closely. I love the pattern I discovered deep inside a garden poppy.

I can never resist taking poppy seedpod photos, for some reason!
