The colour of dreams

Here is one of my favourite photos of the field behind our house, awash with summertime poppies. For a few weeks they turn the fields of green rapeseed or wheat into something entrancing.

On the day I took this, Harry spent a good part of the afternoon wandering back and forth through the field, totally absorbed in his thoughts.

Sometimes a change of pace is what we all need.

That is absolutely stunning. What a fabulous photo.

In many ways I envy the kids their age and ability to get lost in a field of poppies. Must be wonderful. xx

Oh how lovely – I’m lucky to spot one or two poppies at the edge of a wheat field… a whole field of them? Me and my camera would go daft! :)

That is absolutely gorgeous. I love poppies. I agree, a change of pace, and a change of scene, can make all the difference.

Gorgeous photo, and yes really dreamy…do you remember the Wizard of Oz and the shot where they fall asleep in the field of flowers? That came to my mind. :)
