Frajohn Posted 30 June , 2013 Share Posted 30 June , 2013 Thought you might like to see some of this year's poppy displays. Could do with a bit more sunshine for the photos but cannot be too choosey this year. Behind Mametz Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwin astill Posted 4 July , 2013 Share Posted 4 July , 2013 Thanks. I've noticed a lot of poppies in the fields of crops here in South Yorkshire. Cannot recall seeing anything like the numbers in the 25 years I've lived here. Is there a reason for this profusion? Edwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServiceRumDiluted Posted 4 July , 2013 Share Posted 4 July , 2013 I've also noticed more poppies this year in S Yorks and Notts. They must enjoy the weather patterns of late. Great pictures, theres something very moving about a field of poppies, even if it's just our projected symbolism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frajohn Posted 7 July , 2013 Author Share Posted 7 July , 2013 Thank you for all the kind comments. I went out yesterday to take some more but the displays are beginning to fade as the crops are beginning to overtake the height of the poppies. Chris The camera I used for these photos is a Sony Nex7 with a variety of lenses. It is a very good lightweight, compact alternative to my Nikon DSLR Kind regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 7 July , 2013 Share Posted 7 July , 2013 Lovely photos. John. Something to look back on when the poppies are gone for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew pugh Posted 8 July , 2013 Share Posted 8 July , 2013 Hi Frajon. Brilliant pictures, lets hope that there is a great show of poppies like that next year for the 100th anniversary of the Great War. Kind Regards Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamRev Posted 8 July , 2013 Share Posted 8 July , 2013 ....... I've noticed a lot of poppies in the fields of crops here in South Yorkshire. Cannot recall seeing anything like the numbers in the 25 years I've lived here. Is there a reason for this profusion? (I garden/design gardens for my modest living) The cool wet summer of 2012, and the wet spring of 2013 have meant that all sorts of plants and shrubs have flowered better this spring/early summer than for years (at least here in West Sussex they have), and I think that the poppies are no exception. With the incredibly wet summer and autumn of 1917, I expect that 1918 may have been a similarly spectacular flowering year. William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
