Hope you like poppies. These were swaying in the strong wind.

Gorgeous, Sylvia. The first one, especially on download, is a real stunner. The poppies, farm house, & those wild clouds all come together for a super picture, IMO.

Super images Sylvia, here is a fitting pome to go with them.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
by John McCrae.
R.I.P. We will remember them.

Lovely photos. The third one is haunting, with the B&W background. Well done!

#1 is stunning! 2/3 of the frame filled with eye-popping color, LOL. And a very cool house!

I love your first shot Sylvia. The contrast and textures of the brooding sky, rustic buildings with the stone wall and the field of beautiful poppies all combine to make an outstanding composition.
