These days no matter how early I wake up, there's always light outside.....and by the time I am done with wiping sleep from my eyes, and that mug of coffee finally kicking in... the sun outside is just beginning to bathe all that's beautiful on my way to work, in its shimmering pool. This is my favorite part of the day till it's time for sun to set when I am out with my camera again. So no matter how rushed I am in mornings, I still leave with my camera, hoping I will get a chance to stop and click, and if I do get lucky, it sets the tone for the day....a VERY MERRY tone :) These are from yesterday's "trip" to work :)

Bar-red!

Those beautiful, golden, wondrous, magical hours. Lovely shots. :)
The back-lit poppy is my favorite, Moi, as is the quote by Iris Murdoch. Did you ever see Dame Judi Dench in the movie Iris? When I read the quote, I saw and heard Judi Dench saying it! :)
Love the roadside flowers. Looks nice and "homey." A nice welcoming scene when you come home.
Gorgeous shots. I love the first one with the fence and the last one with it's little pod drooping over.
Those are so gorgeous! The bar-red looks like I can reach out and touch it.
PS, do you use a macro lens much? I am on the hunt for one and looking for recommendations.
Love, love, love your gilt trip. I think you live in Paradise. The poppy against the fence is a prize winner. Glad you stopped to capture the day.
Summer is wonderful, isn't it! Lovely photos.
Delightful images! Hope you are doing good, Moi.
now every time i type the blog name on the browser and hit the go button i wait in anticipation to see something that would take my breath away.....and it never fails. how can one in even start describing the flowers.
Oh these are beautiful!! So glad you took your camera along!
So pretty! Don't you love surprises like that, and being prepared for them?
lovely, moi.... you've always been an expert at capturing light and how it plays on objects.
and as a side note, count on me getting up that way at some point...'twould be fun to visit and play a little music in your town.
i'll write more soon!

Hey! Thanks for your lovely comments on my Flickr :) I wasn't sure you'd see it if I replied there, so here i am! Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of your photography :)
You are so good at perspective!
I must make a note to put Bachelor's Buttons and poppies together. The colors are wonderful!
My hubby found a stray poppy blooming amid his garlic the other day. So cheerful :)
I love the morning light too, and yes, the golden afternoons :)
Couldn't we have a great time together with our cameras? I hope you make that trip up here soon!
Your photos of the ethereal poppies are enchanting, and isn't that fence lovely?
Wishing you plenty of magical photo opportunities and ample time to stop, dear Moi!
Oh, and I love the Iris Murdoch quote. Mad with joy indeed!
I saw that movie (Iris). She was quite a character :)
Oh, I am a photog wannabee. I have such a dinky little camera but love pics! My son and DIL are avid photogs. Some day I wanna' upgrade, on my wish list! Your blog is simply beautiful...Maybe some day I will be able to upload scenes like yours...I love the poppies...
Will visit soon...
Lovely shots. Those wildflowers along the fence are simply wonderful; they make me want to wander on down a country road.
