poppies among the wheat


I have seen poppies intruding on wheat fields before but not to this extent.  I thought it made for an interesting contrast in color and texture.   I found them on one of my favorite nearby bike trails.

As usual, I would recommend you look at this in a larger format in order to see the detail (click on the image and maximize your browser window).

  1. There's a lovely poppy field near the bike track behind Chenonceau on the other side of the Cher and if you haven't cycled along there already, I definitely recommend it at end time of day, but especially sunset.

    1. I did take a ride last year on the path that borders the Cher at Chenonceau. It is indeed a nice ride there. I was there at mid-day, but I can imagine it would be beautiful at sunset.

  2. Looks pretty, but I feel sorry for the farmer that only wanted wheat.

    1. And not only that, but it turns out poppies are poisonous.
