Poppy Power
Posted under People I love, Photography
Oh how I laughed. For the last 10 days or so I’ve been itching to get a poppy field shot. The field I snapped last year is covered in white daisies this year, but another field just a short drive away was absolutely magnificent. Probably the biggest poppy field I’ve ever seen and in a gorgeous position for an evening shoot. But I couldn’t get near enough to it without trespassing, and there was nowhere easy to park. I’d just about given up on it when I happened to meet the landowner at a party and asked permission to shoot. By the time I got there to shoot the poppies had, inevitably, gone way past their best. Weep.
Yesterday MrSpud spotted ‘something orangey red’ about 3 fields away from the house. Quick trip down the fields ET VOILA! A wonderful, wonderful poppy field….right on the doorstep. And it’s absolutely at its best right now. My photographic happiness is complete.
I bribed the boys to sit still for a photoshoot. They weren’t that keen at first…
Threats were added to the bribes…
Once they were off there was no stopping them…
I can’t imagine there are many years left of them being so unselfconsciously loving towards each other. So, for now, I’ll let my heart melt a little bit each time they kiss and cuddle each other. And take a million photos and a make a million memories. xxx
Oh my goodness!! These shots could not possibly be more delicious! I thought the flowers were spectacular, but your darling boys are just too much to take! (Not *too* much, of course. Unbelievably adorable!)
Oh how gorgeous.. i wish there were a poppy field here … they are my absolute faves.. your guys are pretty gorgeous too!!! lucky you!!xx
Fantastic!!!!
We’re just now getting poppies, but nothing like this over-the-top display. (Is it just me, or do you hear the Wicked Witch crooning “poppies, poppies” when you see a field full of them?)
Those boys are just TOO gorgeous.
Those boys…..awww, the most adorable kids eva’! The poppy field was pretty spectacular, as well!
keep those photos for ransom when they are pre-teens. You’ll need them :)
I kept waiting for them to lie down in the poppy field and fall asleep…
Oh my gosh, 8.40 in the morning and I’m having a total meltdown here!!! These boys are so adorable you lucky girl!!!! And as for the patience, I have it in abundance, so when can I come and pick them up LOL
Have a lovely day!!

Aww, this is so sweet. Oh how I love B&D. Gorgeous poppy shots and beautiful memories x
I can’t resist adding my own “awwwwwww’s” to this party. Sooooooo cute! And may they have many more years of unself-conscious affection (my 15 yo boy is still very “lovey” to his sisters, and it’s sweet to see).
Omigosh I get excited when I spot a clump of poppies at the edge of a wheat field – I can’t imagine what I’d do with a whole field! Gorgeous photos :)
Forgot the poppies (even though they are fab). The Megaboys lookig so sweet hugging and kissing each other. Your boys are gorgeous. x

You have such beautiful children!
