The Clever Pup: Poppy

June 17, 2011

Poppy

While walking the dog, I found these poppies in a neighbour's garden. I was delighted at how these poppies were complemented by the maroon leaves of the smokebush and I had to return home for a camera.

update. I wish all my posts were as popular as this one. This photo has been reblogged over 26,000 times.

Haven't visited for ages but I'm happy to be in your presence again.
Have a lovely weekend!
