Poppies (aka poppies) are truly a sign that summer is here or coming. You see whole fields and roadsides colored red by this beautiful flower. It always cheers me up, even though the poppy is a symbol of comfort and remembrance of the dead.
This picture was taken on such a verge, but one with the smaller and more orange variety of poppy. The photo was taken against the sun which makes you see beautiful light edges and all the hairs on the stem of the poppy. There is also a bit of sun flare to be seen. The image is somewhat dreamy because of the colors and light.
