I haven’t taken part in The Gallery for a few weeks, but now I’m settling into my life as a student I thought I’d get involved again. This week’s prompt is The Colour Red, with or without a Halloween slant. I’ve chosen to go without the slant, and instead pick this picture.
This poppy field is about 5 minutes drive from my parents’ house. Every year it is a wonderful sight when the poppies all come into bloom, but this year was probably the best I can ever remember it being. It was covered on tv, radio and newspapers – at the weekends people were driving for an hour or more to visit it and take photographs. Out of all of the photos that I took I think this one is one of my favourites – I have a copy of it stuck to my noticeboard above me desk. I love poppies and looking at it every day makes me smile and think of home.

Lovely pic. Reminds me of a birthday card that I got this year – a huge field full of poppies. Nipper was so taken with the image that he said he wanted to go there. So nice that it reminds you of home.
Thank you 🙂
Oh that really is a beautiful photograph and made me smile too. I can just picture a whole field of poppies. The almost look like they could ‘talk’!
Thanks 🙂
Lovely photo, I haven’t seen poppies for soooo long 🙂 (you made me smile)
Thanks, glad you liked it 🙂
Ooh, how nice to have a poppy field close by! Such a beautiful sight 🙂
It was gorgeous, made me happy every time I went past it.
