Our Poppy pictures.

Pictures of the fallen WW2 men in the display at the church in Great Ayton.

 

Bought a new poppy yesterday, think this is a great idea.
So many of us wear zipped up waterproof clothes this time of the year
Made with waterproof plastic. It wont disintegrate in the rain.

 

I put a similar style poppy on my dog's harness....done well so far, it's still attached....she loses at least one a year.

 

DLR train

 

All the tube trains I used yesterday in London...so Piccadilly, Northern and Bakerloo lines, had poppy decals on the front of the train. Nice touch I thought.

Couple of poppies from past few days, the weather damaging most of them.

 

Self set, come back every year.

 

Looking up towards the top of (the invitingly named) Gallows Hill:

as snapped by my co-pilot/observer from the Barnetby M180 sliproad. The meadow is sort-of in between the nearby former RAF Kirmington and RAF Elsham Wolds, from which 127 Lancasters and 51 Wellingtons and 208 Lancasters, 12 Halifaxes and 28 Wellingtons respectively failed to return.

My co-pilot has been told that next time, to improve focus, she will be sat on a pillion seat facing backwards and taking the image with a standard camera through a lens of a pair of binoculars. I gather from hand signals that this may not happen.

 

Morning walk with the pooch, across old farmer fields (now a new housing estate).

Two lovely banks of poppies, right outside someone's front door.

 

This year's local pharmaceutical crop, or a third part thereof. Field rotations again and just coming into full bloom. The bee (top right) made me wonder whether the associated honey was advertised with claims of particular qualities and benefits?
