It is cold and wet and so nice to dream of summer and
glowing poppies.
OOps, forgot about the searing heat!

:) those are (were) beauties!
ReplyDeleteSeems like we should enjoy one season at a time. Beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Arija - it is the same here. When the season has gone we only remember the good days - the searing heat, the freezing cold - all disappear and we remember the blazing log fires and the gentle summer evening. Perhaps it is just as well.
ReplyDeleteIn spite of more rain and gray clouds than I care for -- our temps are never at the extreme on either end. I do love that! And when we have beautiful days like this weekend it makes all of the rain worth it. But having lived in Texas and Montana, I do know about extremes!! Beautiful post as always and gorgeous, colorful flowers! Take care, enjoy!

Sveika, Ārija!
ReplyDeleteNeizsakāmi skaistas magones!!!
Jaukas atmiņas par vasaru...
Mums Latvijā beidzot ir sākusies ļoti karsta vasara.
Love the poppy photos!
ReplyDeleteI dream to live where the climate and soil is *just right* for an abundance of them.....alas, I am stuck here where they refuse to thrive.
I enjoy vicariously. ;-)
XXOO~~
Anne
I love these shots of the poppies. Nice memories to have while your seasons change.
ReplyDeleteWe had a month of sun and only today we got some rain, which we need. Everything is so dry now and there are bushfires, which are difficult to extinguish, for the soil often consists of peat, which keeps smoulding under the surface.I hope that you will get a mild winter.The poppies are lovely!
ReplyDeleteSorry the Summer is now guest in our town for a while, but don't worry we shall not keep it for ever-:)
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful flowers - roter Mohn - real Summer power.
Have a nice day!
Elfe
So so beautiful! I wish I could have some poppies growing in the garden now...not to mention a little cool air and some rain ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and beautiful images...love the color and full frame, lovelies!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.The reds look so saturated.I have trouble getting good pictures of anything red.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! That flower looks like crinkle paper. That is the most interesting flower! So many bees! what a great shot. The dew drops are so vivid!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your flower photos are gorgeous! Hugs, antonella :-)
ReplyDeleteOh! I do love red poppies - and as I sit at my computer all rugged up I've completely forgotten what it's like to be hot!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots!I love these beauties!

These photos are just lovely Arija! Always a pleasure to stop by your blog. As for the heat, it's bad here but today I plucked my first berries (Indian blackberry) and things like that make me forget summer's unkindness, temporarily.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your comment!! I'm still grinning!:)
I love your photos of oriental poppy! Bees seem to enjoy the beautiful dining area. Wish you a nice day! Zinnia
ReplyDeleteVery lovely photo story and gorgeous poppies!! We are just getting into our summer season. It has been a long time coming.
ReplyDeletewow, those poppis are so great.
ReplyDeleteOh MY, those poppies are beautiful. It's good to see the fuzzy bees having a merry time. And your cottage stay sounded very relaxing! Wish I could stow away in your suitcase.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Aaah, yes, dear Arija, you did sort of forget about the heat;) But, oh yes, the flowers are superb, and the bees are thriving, and the colours have been vibrant...oh but that as it takes place in my world for now, as you shiver in the cold.
ReplyDeleteYet a promise, that we shall once again change places, in the not too distant future. Those Poppies are superb Arija~
