Simply Red

The last post was all about black and white. This one is all about seriously dazzling color. 


One usually finds big, beautiful, eye-popping poppies like these carefully tended in someone's garden, but these brave blossoms were out in the middle of a field of weeds, grasses and wildflowers. 



The seeds must have had an interesting journey to end up so far from where they started.



I particularly love the way this one is just emerging from its protective sepal, looking all rumpled like tissue paper. It looks a little like it's wearing earmuffs - or headphones. I wonder what its favorite music is... 




The incredible intensity of the scarlet illuminated by the morning sun made for some outstanding iridescent eye candy. They were positively glowing.
