Hard to resist more poppy views—they’re blooming everywhere… but they won’t linger long.
Poppies, they’re tough. Elusive. Their color practically sings, glowing with a depth my camera can’t fully snag. So, I went a bit wild with the shots, chasing that spark.
Poppies hum with fire,
Lens begs for their vivid heart,
Earth just winks at me.
…and wink she does as I faithfully try to grab their soul
yet grab I can’t
sneaking behind shrubs
They’re way bolder in real life
Perfect dividers
like rivers flowing
gracefully surrounding olive trees
Forgive the overload. My eyes are dazzled, but my lens is still chasing their fire!
meanwhile:

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

They are stunning flowers and you have captured them beautifully. Will they flower for long? 🤗💓
Sorry I’m so late in reading this! 🙏
It’s not going anywhere anytime soon! 😉 Thank YOU, for visiting, my friend. 🙏
Hi, Ashley. I think they will last for a week or two more, but not sure. I’m enjoying them while they last! 😉
This is such a beautiful combination of words and photos. Hugs.
Aww, thank you so much, Teagan!
Many hugs back to you! xoxo
And she has a nose for a good photograph.
She’s a great sniffer! 😉

How beautiful, Marina. I love to explore places like that. Looks fascinating.

Beautiful post, Marina. The olive trees look old. It’s good that the boss stops to smell the flowers.
Thank you, Tim! I think they’re about 30-40 yrs old. Boss appreciates her surroundings! 😉
How lovely.
Thank you, Tony! 🙏
Hurray! The supervisor knows what he’s doing.
Oh, yes she does! 😉
The poppies are poppin’ while tugging with smiles at your heart. The opening image is outstanding!!!! Yamas!
Poppin’ poppies indeed and true, they bring so much joy to my day.
Thank you, so much, Frank!
Yamas!
Okay, gotta get used to your new look blog!
Looks fab!

I wanted to simplify it [as much as possible with so many directions!]. The puzzle look with the photos looked nice but I think the structure was a bit confusing.
I know it takes time to get used to [for me too!]
So happy you like it though, dahlin!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I love this!
You are the Poppy goddess!
Hera is the Poppy girl.
Together you make a beautiful world better!

I never thought that our home would be surrounded by poppies! Poppy happiness! 😉
You are the Poppy Queen, wearing them so well! 😉
