More Poppy Pictures
My current infactuation with poppies will be reflected in the subsequent photo-affair I am having with them! Here are some more pictures of this year's favourite annual: Papaver Somniferum.

I love the poppies; they're beautiful! Your lilies look great as well. Too bad about the dragonflies, but I imagine you're not missing the blackflies and mosquitos!
