This was shot on the last day of Summer, when we were leaving our village place and moved back to the city. Our poppies crop became a precious props for me, as you can see in this proof-pic.
I packed the armful most carefully in cardboard and tried to bring it to our flat without any squashing ;) The plan worked -- now a rare guest may manage to escape our house without posing me with dry poppies :)
