08. Poppies Looking into the Sun
by Chris on Jul.08, 2008, under Flowers, Nature, Scenery

This is a bit of a landmark image for me, photo #1000. I started this photo blog on February 1st, 2005 (after having previously displayed my images on another one of my sites for several years) with a photo of a Silver Cheeked Hornbill and posted daily up until a little bit before my wedding last year when other priorities became more important. I continued to post regularly, though not daily up until March of this year when because of hosting problems with my web provider, I became too frustrated and stopped posting until June 1 when I resumed daily posting.
Today’s photo, shot on my recent trip to the Bruce Peninsula with Scott is of poppies growing wild along the roadside. I am sure they had been part of a garden at one time, but the area appears to be overgrown now.
I hope to continue daily posting. It does get tiring at times, and sometimes I need a little inspiration to put up a new photo. I can’t say I will make another 1000 photos but I will give it a shot. The important thing is not to stop. After a while, it almost becomes an addiction.
I haven’t done a good job up so far of advertising it, but many of my images here are available for sale but I hope to have that rectified shortly.

There is nothing better than a vibrant red against a lively blue. The colors are outstanding, I really enjoyed the photo!

Thank you Ilan for you comment. I only wish the photo captured what I saw as I took this particular shot.
