OK, enough with the alliteration and let’s get on with the stars of the show…the poppies in my backyard!

The pods started popping about 2 says ago. I have been so busy with work, that I really haven’t even had time to look at them until this morning. I started counting the pods and there are well over 100. It would be marvelous if they all popped at the same time.
I think they look so nice in the morning light below.

I will probably have 2 more post on poppies this year. One more from my yard once there are more in full bloom and another post from a field of poppies in Alpine, UT. Reference this post.
I love using the macro lens. Today I actually used the tripod on the first image of the post. I used photo stacking to increase the sharpness. I am quite pleased with the results.

Stay tuned. More on the way!
