Summer is here at last (too hot for me, actually), with only a gentle breeze today. So I crossed the road for my annual poppy pilgrimage. 1/400s, f/8, ISO 100, 36mm equiv.

I'm delighted to see a bit of ordinary grass has clung on tenaciously despite the spraying, and outgrown the barley. Well done, that seed! I don't think eating its offspring will do anyone any harm.
Sadly, heavy rain is looming for the week ahead, as I set off on my holidays. |

You've captured the seed heads perfectly, they almost look like feathers. Nice job.

I love the little bursts of color that the poppies provide. It's a beautiful and serene setting.

Beautiful shots. Print some large prints of these and hang them on the wall.
