poppy field, originally uploaded by bobsee.
There are thousands of poppies in the fields in Provence just now. One thing that really strikes me about them is how, so often, they catch you by surprise and how you just can’t take your eyes off them.
As I was walking down the path to the front gate, this splash of red caught my eye. I turned and looked, a gap in the foliage at the side of the path having opened up, and it was as if looking through a window into another world. From another angle, it just doesn’t look like this, but from this spot, right here, it suddenly seemed magical, a gift, a moment to stand and wonder about just how amazing and beautiful the world can be.
It’s inviting, isn’t it? Don’t you want to clamber through and see what lies beyond?

Really lovely and magical.
Dr. Bob,
I haven’t been by in a while. Hope you are doing well.
I’ve said it before but you have the best photos in Europe. Makes me want to travel.
Dr. B
That’s a really beautiful photo (amongst many great shots!) – I tend to have a weakness for flower photography so am very glad to have stumbled across these!
Thank you Cristal.
Hey Dr B, if you ever get across here, you make sure you let me know you’re coming – and bring a camera!
cb – thank you for such kind comments. Flowers capture my attention all the time! You’ll find a lot here and more across on my flickr page
