Poppy
We see our fill of these simple yet lovely flowers every ANZAC Day, but it would be fair to say that poppies are a timeless beauty. This photo sent in by member @Carole_Peggy has a more personal sentiment to it, having been taken in her 83-year-old dad’s garden in the UK last September. Good on him, eh? What a lovely hobby to pick up. Thanks for sharing, member @Carole_Peggy. If you have pictures you’d
love to share with us, please feel free to post on our Photography forum!
