The flowers of the field

John's been out and about with his camera this week captivated by the endless fields of poppies. I just love June in Alhama- it's so vivid and fresh.



These pictures have a real painterly quality. Time to get the watercolours out!




It's not just poppies - these lovely flowers are the most intense blue (I think they are harebells, but post if you think differently.)




The blossom has gone now but while we're on a flowery theme I couldn't resist posting these almond trees. - I feel a haiku coming on....

the last snows melting
petals dust the almond trees:
Alhama springtime
