As lilies are just beginning to bloom, these Amaryllis are already going to seed.
Have a great start to your week!
It's kind of interesting to see what tags Flickr automatically assigns to your uploads, and how accurate it can be, eh!
A break from the Meadowood monotony with a couple of floral abstracts. I don't think I've dedicated photos to my kidlets, so here are two I made for them.

Hooray, a flower macro shot. My usual macro camera (my Pentax 6x7) is still in the shop after a rather unfortunate bath at Oneonta Gorge, so I had thought I was finished with macro for the season. Fortunately I was introduced to a rather splendid +20 close up filter, yeah I didn't realize they made them that strong either, which I in turn gave to a friend, who in turn allowed me to use their digital camera coupled with the filter to continue my macro adventures. This is a helichrysum taken out at the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie's Island, today at that! I had to patiently wait out the wind which kept making photography of this nature even more tedious and unpredictable, but this shot turned out quite nicely I think. Still I miss my Pentax...
The corn poppy, also known as the Flanders poppy or Papaver rhoeas, is a vibrant red wildflower that is commonly found in fields and meadows. It is known for its distinctive bright red petals with a dark black or purple spot at the base. The corn poppy is a symbol of remembrance and is often associated with World War I, particularly in the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands, we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
This beautiful flower typically blooms in late spring or early summer and can be found in various parts of the world, including Europe and North America. Its striking appearance and cultural significance make it a beloved wildflower for both aesthetic and symbolic reasons.
