Pop a Poppy

Posted on December 21, 2019 by crispina kemp

The Winter Solstice and I seek a suitable photo both for that and for Maria’s #2019picoftheweek challenge. And have to flip the calendar back to summer…

The common field poppy: 4th June 2019

The vibrant red of the common field poppy, *popped* against washed-out grey foliage, makes me think of the Solstice’s promise of new life at this grey and weary time of year.

Pop of Colour, one of the titles in #2019picoftheweek challenge. For details see MariaAntonia

    It’s a very special photo. Thank you for sharing this special Day that I was unaware of until now. It is indeed and uplifting thought and feeling. The Poppy for both hope for the future and remembrance.
    Beautiful. 💜🌱🌞
