Poppies

The camera never lies - or does it? Ok, this a fairly straight forward shot with
a minimum amount of processing. But it looks as though I walked past a field
of poppies while in reality there's just a patch of poppies and other wildflowers
growing on a piece of waste ground. They are very colourful and although the
evening sun had faded by the time I got out for a walk, I couldn't resist trying
to get a pic.
It is, as my son said, good to be going on dog walks again. He had refused to go
on walks up the road with me after Patch died which is fair enough - it just isn't
cool for a teenager to be seen going for a walk with his Mum - so it's good that
I'm now asked to accompany him on walk with Fudge.

Almost impressionist in the "feel" if not the light. Very nicely done.

This is so lovely. The framing and dof do make this look like a whole field of poppies. Great work! ~V~

It's excellent how they fade into the distance. You've made it look like they go on forever.
