Tre papaveri rossi that happen to be located just behind the little house on the piece of land P and I are in the process of acquiring…yes, more details forthcoming on our new campagna assuming all goes well. Fingers crossed!

Grazie bella; I’m sure you have a 3 photo you could submit….
it’s perfect michele! and beautiful.
Grazie Elsa! And thanks for coming by 🙂
Pretty !!
I’m going to put some poppy seeds in the freezer in mud, cos I’ve heard that if you subject them to six weeks freezing before you sprout them you can have poppies all year round.
Well it is worth a try, I’ve just had a dead guinea pig in my freezer until burial could take place so a bit of mud with seeds in it is rather a step up I feel.
Love your photo, wish I could see compositions like that when I have a camera in my hand but I seem to be hell bent on capturing a blurred, gurning child instead…although that might be cos he shoves his head in the lens as soon as his inner camera radar goes ping.
I didn’t know that about poppies! We just have them wild all over the place…never thought of harnessing them and making them grow. Maybe I’ll try that too! We have some gorgeous purple ones I’d love to see more often than a few weeks a year….
As for the photo, I had a work a bit to get the sky into the frame, but it was worth it 😀
Hope you get that guinea pig out of that freezer…around here they’d likely mistake it for dinner 🙁

Che belle! Thanks for sharing, Michelle. And I can’t wait to hear about your new place 🙂 Happy Monday
Thanks Awedree! 🙂
Thanks for the tip, Michelle! (I adore poppies, those are beautiful.) Looking forward to your expansive news.

I’ll probably wait until something official happens to really expand on the expansion…fingers crossed it happens quickly. Hah!

Thanks for another great photo! Poppies are so beautiful, for some reason they don’t grow in our yard.
I’ve never tried to grow them, Gil, but I might now that I know a trick (see Sarah’s tip in the comments!) 🙂
I love that photo Michelle. Red poppies happen to be one of my favourite flowers. I love it when I come across a field full of them here in Italy, or a little cluster of them on a stone wall, just around the corner from where I live in the heart of this village.
I don’t think I ever saw a real red poppy in person until I came here…now I just adore them 🙂
Fantastic photos Michelle.
It’s cold and raining here in Rome (and the forecast calls for rain all week) and this photo brightened up my day.
Happy to oblige 🙂
