Poppy time - almost Summer in Provence!

My favorite season in Provence has begun: the poppies are popping up (yes I know, couldn't resist...) all over the fields and as I was driving by I just had to take out my camera for a quick snap. Continued driving and suddenly realized I had a big smile on my face - because these little red dots make everything look so beautiful, because the sun was shining, because it is almost summer in Provence!

  5. I love the poppies, probably my favorite sight in Provence, even more so than lavender.

  6. What a lovely photo. It reminds me of a Monet painting. It must be a delight to see the fields "up close and personal." The closest we have to this are acres of yellow mustard that are in full bloom right now. They, too, are gorgeous. I hope you have a great day.

  7. We will be traviling to Provence in June of next year. I am so anxious to experience the poppies, the lavender, and the light. We live in a beautiful mountainous region of the Blue Ridge on a lake, but I long for the beauties of Provence.
