Poppy

I love Poppies.

All the varieties, but mostly the humble field poppy.

I planted some on waste ground to commemorate the great war but they haven't appeared. It doesn't matter, there are plenty about.

They are so fragile. Red is a difficult colour to capture. It is easy to lose the subtle contours of this beautiful bloom.

Life is fragile, flowers are easily destroyed. Look at the beauty in the world, enjoy it, don't take it for granted.
