These are really lovely, I especially like the depth of field in the opening bud. 🙂
Thank you Amanda for checking out my photos and leaving a comment.

What a wonderful series! The bud is so darling and then the flower just lovely even as it spends itself.
Yes, it was amazing. The bud was also fuzzy. It looked like it needed a shave.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Each and every photo is gorgeous!

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!

Sounds like the California Poppy.
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.
