This photo was taken in October 2011 during a trip David and I took to Thailand. If you are interested in viewing more photos from this trip I am posting about the trip on Travel Tales, the latest post is River trip to Grand Palace-Bangkok.

Today I am joining the Floral Friday Fotos meme.

Poppy Macro

Photo taken April 26th 2012

The first poppies of the season are coming into bloom and I have been out experimenting with my camera, taking macros of them this week.


Last weekend we went away to Assisi in Umbria for the weekend to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary. We visited a number of the beautiful hill towns en route and spent a couple of days in Assisi. The plan was to share lots of photos with you this week.

However, what do they say about the best laid plans? Since our return home I have been having computer problems, resulting in a complete failure that meant it went away to be repaired. The repair does not appear to have been successful as I am still having major problems. My husband has managed to reset it yet again and I am frantically trying to post before it crashes yet again.  I have successfully shared some photos of our Wisteria on News From Italy and a few photos of our hotel in Assisi on Travel Tales.


It looks like I shall be taking a forced blogging break for awhile until these problems are sorted out. I may be away some time as we also have a few busy weeks ahead of us in real life, with Birthday celebrations and friends visiting to look forward to.

I will be back as soon as possible and will in the meantime still be enjoying your photographs, just maybe not commenting as much as normal.


See you all again soon with hopefully a properly functioning computer and lots of photos to share with you.

Another Mellow Yellow Flower that welcomes Spring.
I posted a celandine earlier this month as a First Sign of Spring, but not as a macro.
