It’s Poppy Season!

This evening I decided to take myself out in the search of those gorgeous poppy fields!

My trip wasn’t as fruitful as I hoped but the poppy season has only just begun and runs through to September, sometimes early October if we are lucky. So there’s still plenty of time to see those fields of red emerge. 

I haven’t practiced macro photography for a little while so it was good to get back into the swing of it! Although a little rusty might I add, it didn’t take long to get that photo snapping buzz and I was quite surprised with the results. Because the patch I visited wasn’t as full as I would have liked, I decided to focus on individual flowers and smaller denser patches. Seeing other wildflowers mixed in and the array of different colours was just stunning!

I’ll be keeping a keen eye as the season progresses for a field full of poppies, they really are just so beautiful!
