Poppies!

I love Poppies and just now, while I was weeding in the yard, I spotted these beautiful light pink ones next door in the neighbors' front patch...

They looked almost like tissue paper...

Last week I got a call that I quickly had to come to a friend's house and photograph her red Poppies. Unfortunately I had to delay our visit a few days and by the time I got there the flowers were already past their prime. But still, I was able to take a few nice ones...

Around the corner  I spotted these beautiful blue Irises!

What a bounty of colors!  {smile}
