My Town Monday - Poppies!
Well its that time again, My Town Monday. Today has been one of those glorious Balmy summery days that you have to make the most of here in England, one blink and it will be Autumn and Pumpkin time again. As I write this the temperature outside is a very nice 23.6 C. The wind is blowing and it makes you feel good to be alive.Sunday afternoon we took a trip to a local Pub, (the Crooked Chimney, a subject for an up coming post !!) When we noticed these stunning Poppies growing in a field next door, judging by the path that had been worn through the nettles from the car park we are not the first people to discover these beauties!!
Poppies look so delicate as they are blown around in the breeze, but they are deceptive, they blow almost flat and then spring back up again.There are hundreds of buds so I expect there will be a spectacular show for a few more weeks yet. There didn't seem to be anything else growing in the field apart from wild flowers, daisies, forget me nots, blue speedwell, Huge Thistles and scarlet pimpernel. I hope they all set loads of seed and come back next year.

Would much rather be in the field of poppies than in my office!! Beautiful pictures. Sue :o)
Great shots. The pubs and bars near me have nothing beside them but cigarette butts and broken glass littered asphalt.

Gorgeous photo's - poppies in a field do look majestic and so colourful.
Can't wait to hear the story behind the pub . . . when are you publishing it ! ! !
ps: you should start writing articles for your local paper about your area as I'm sure there would be loads of people interested.
Great photos! Looking forward to your post about the Crooked Chimney
