POPPY DREAMS

There is something so beautiful and tender about the poppy.  Like every flower it has so many different phases to its life.  Something that I had never noticed is that a poppy is just as beautiful in it's blooming phase as it is when it is withering and dying.  It has been used as a symbol for death, sleep, resurrection, and eternal life.  And of course the red corn poppy is the symbol used for remembrance on Memorial Day.

I was compelled to put together a collection of my poppy pictures from my garden and put some music in the background to add a meditative mood.  I hope you enjoy the outcome.
