We were lucky enough to be in Tuscany as the poppies were blooming. 
There were fields of the red/orange blooms, softly blowing in the wind.
As we flew over in the hot air balloon, the hills were colored with flowers.
Just the thought makes me smile!
Don't y'all agree?~ bellissima!

I already framed 4 8x10 poppy photos for my guest room. I LOVE them too! They were fabulous!
Your photos are gorgeous, but I sure would have loved seeing them in person.
Hugs!

Poppies are so beautiful! It always seems to me their stems are so fragile...how can they hold up those glorious blooms?
Great pics!
Wonderful photos of the poppies. I get so excited everytime I see some. I definitely agree that the thought of them makes you smile.
Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog! I see you're also in love with Tuscany! I'd love to be there right now! Noticed you are a member at Slowtrav? I've been a member for several years, but not having a trip to Bella Italia planned for the immediate future, I have not stopped by in ages! I have never been to Italy for Poppy season, but one day.....Ciao Ciao!

Kat~ you are so right!
Sally~ 'the hills are alive...'
Tipper~ thanks for stopping by!
Tonja~ they don't do well if you try to pick them for a vase!
