O how I love the Cinderella poppies
cautiously opening their pale and prickly buds
They tease us with a glimpse of the glory inside
and make one curiously longing for more
And then, before you realize it, they overwhelm you
with the most delicate but passionate
lady in red
fully living her life in one day…

Amazing, Noortje …. So beautiful this Phoem
Thanks to the great muse… 🙂
Heel mooi neergezet..
Dank Leo!
Mooi!
Dank!
I’m so glad you found my page and commented, because then I found your blog…and you have some awesome photos here!
How nice of you… thank you for this wonderful compliment!
Wow, Noortje, I had no idea they look like this before they bloom. Enchanting!
Have a fresh weekend x
They are lovely before unfolding, aren’t they, like a foetus in the womb… !
Beautiful capture! I can feel the anticipation of the petals coming out!
Thank you Celia, and this all happens in such a short time…
wow echt mooi hoe je ze hebt gefotografeerd!
Ze staan in mijn tuin Ellen, dus in het seizoen kan ik me er lekker op uitleven! thanks!
Wow! Absolutely phenomenal!
Thank you for this nice respons!
Schitterend!
Dank Jaap! 🙂
De kleur spat van de pc. Fantastisch.
Ja, mooi het dat frisse rood en groen… 🙂
Wonderful! I’ve never seen poppies popping out before. I should take a closer look in future!
If you have a garden, plant some seeds? It is so wonderful to see them grow first hand!
No, no garden, just a very little balcony… But I will keep my eyes open when I am out for a run.
That ‘ll work too (although it may be better done/seen whilst walking instead of running) 🙂
Lovely feel to these images. Very nice.
Thank you so much!
I wish I could think of a word to describe these beautiful photos. I guess the best I can do is stunning. Applause to the photographer. 🙂
And a big bow of thanks to you! 🙂
Je foto’s zijn van een ongekende schoonheid en dan ook nog een mooi gedichtje erbij maakt het tot een héél bijzonder
verhaal.
Lieve groeten van Helga
Wat een lieve reactie Helga. Het is ook zo fijn om de schoonheid om me heen te kunnen vastleggen… en die is in dit geval heel dicht bij huis!
Glorious color …
of a glorious flower… thank you Isadora!
I have never seen a poppy before it was in full bloom. Magnificent photos!
Thank you Dee. These buds are like little presents, tightly wrapped in and then revealing this wonderful gift!
Amazing.
Absolutely love the delicate feel to the photo. I also never knew they looked like that before flowering! Very nice 🙂
Thank you Annna, that’s great to hear! And it’s so nice to share these beautiful nature moments with kindred spirits!
Wow, de eerste foto! Zo delicaat, zo’n mooi moment. Letterlijk op het punt van open barsten. Een mooier begin is niet uit te beelden. Ik zeg: Wow!
Gaaf he? Het is een ouwetje van vorig jaar, obviously… maar ik verheug me al zo op het nieuwe wilde bloemen-seizoen. Heb ook een zakje korenbloemzaad gekocht, samen met klaprozen (en slaapmutsjes)… zo mooi! En zo geschikt voor mijn rommeltuin en niet groene vingers 🙂
Absolutely overwhelming!
Thank you, Monique!!
Delicate and abundant at the same time, those poppies. I share your love for them. I also love the way you talk about them as little presents, tightly wrapped… Beautiful!
Well said, delicate and abundant?! I am always so surprised that on this relatively little surface they keep on popping up and ‘unfold’ for months in a row. Looking so much forward to it 🙂
wow- the photo of the poppy bud is great…but the second photo is outstanding!!!!!
