You might think I'm nuts to have my camera next to me even
when I sleep - I have told you before that it was my hand extension.

The Earth is my mother, the World my home, where e're I go delights await me.
Arija, this is most beautiful. I seldom get poppies that are large enough to save the seedheads. Soil, weather and all.
ReplyDeleteI covet these! (in a healthy way, of course!)
XXOO!!

Lovely poppy seed-head. Beautiful reflection and shadow.
ReplyDeleteA lovely composition!
ReplyDeleteHi Arija! I've just cleaned my garden and taken out all the old poppies and I took off the seedheads for I want to sow the seed and have poppies next year.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Arija! Great shadow shot for the day! Hope you have a lovely weekend!

The shape lens itself to the early morning sun and a stunning shadow. The camera must be with you at all times to capture such beauty - or is this shot in a dream??
ReplyDeleteYour hand extension and mine too. I hardly ever do not have it with me. I feel lost without it. Great capture Arija~
ReplyDeleteStylish!
ReplyDeleteI don't have my camera sleeping next me - yet! :)
I have moved to WordPress!
I hope to see you there.
Next week I'll be back on track and post a 'normal' SSS post.
Sunny greetings from Casa!

very interesting shot and i liked your comment about the hand extension ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely shadow shot :)
ReplyDeleteNice effect...You asked about sunflower seeds and the health of birds. Wild birds will always go after insect protein first and then to the seeds so there isn't a concern....good question...Michelle
ReplyDeleteNow that is a beautiful shot. Well done
ReplyDeleteCool shot, have ta tell ya, my shot was taken in the morning coming downstairs from the bedroom with camera in hand...you can never be to careful with these shadow shots...lol!
ReplyDeleteNot only are those very cool looking seeds, but the reflection and shadow put this over the top. Awesome capture Arija.
ReplyDeleteThat seed head looks so unusual from this perspective and in the hush of indoor morning light! Very lovely!
ReplyDeletemine are green now...difference in where you are in the world.

You have a lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen poppy seed heads, even though poppies are the national california flower.
This is an amazing shot.
looks really great! I love the doubling ...
ReplyDeletelooks really great! I love the doubling ... greetings from Austria
ReplyDeletetruly exquisite shadows
ReplyDeleteThis is one great shot. I just LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
Have a nice day!
love these shadows Arija...beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I was just today delighting unwitting non-gardening friends with dried poppy seed pods in my garden. Those little salt shakers they make are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen poppies in real life. I need to do so. What a dramatic image, the top one! Isn't it amazing that even if we have not seen it in person, we readily identify it?
ReplyDeleteThat is such a neat shot, I love it.

what a wonderful photo, the colours are so beautiful and the shadows nice and strong
ReplyDeleteNeat shot!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my childhood, my Mum always used to save the dried poppy heads from the garden after they had scattered their seeds.
