These are really lovely, I especially like the depth of field in the opening bud. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Truly beautiful!! See what a smart phone can do 🙂
Yay! for smart phones and mobile devices (since I shoot with an iPod and iPad Mini)
A glorious way to start the day!! I did a similar series last year but my poppies were orange. 🙂 They’re so photogenic at every stage that I kept taking more and more photos. 🙂 Beautiful!

Grand cheer for a day that will turn our early morning rain into a snowstorm. Joyful set of images that show the poppy in its glory: from bud to its spent stage. They’re such delicate and stunning gifts form nature. Happy Phoneography Monday.
