The poppies have been blooming their little heads off all week, but it’s been raining almost every single day, so the flowers stay tightly curled in on themselves. It takes real sunlight to make them open. I had been wanting a poppy photo to try to incorporate into an assignment for my photo class, but I had to wait for a lunchtime sunbreak to run out and snap this. I didn’t end up using it for class, but I love how the image turned out, with the petals still modestly trying to cover the heart of the poppy.
