I’m teaching on a course near Ipswich this weekend and as I drove here this morning I passed this beautiful sight just south of Houghton, on the South Downs. You don’t see many fields of poppies in our area but these were just too good to ignore and the field also happened to have a very handy car parking area right beside it! I stopped and took quite a few photos and these are my favourites.

Really beautiful Helen. Well done. Kay Hooker · 2009-06-05: 18:09

Beautiful, Helen. It looks very very very similar to my field of poppies. Not only for the flowers, but for the landscape. #2 is so nice! ????? · 2009-06-06: 03:00
