    We love how the vibrant poppy refuses to be confined by the starkness of the soil.

    The engineering of nature and man.

    Nice photos- glad to see the sun shining in both!

    That is a contrast, yes!!! We had LOTS of the poppies this March here in the desert – but unfortunately we have some of those metal towers too…..

    What a bright beautiful poppy!

  9. Kitty Says:

    I gotta agree with everyone here – beauty and the beast. Another contrast is looking down and looking up. Also the poppy is more round and the tower is pretty much all angles.

    These twoe pictures offer a lot of different perspectives.

    Happy WW!

    I prefer the flower. Metal structures somehow relates to industrialization and can't appeal to me. I like nature!

    These photos were both taken along the same trail in a park just outside San Francisco. Definitely within 1/2 mile of each other.

    The poppy flower is gorgeous. The towel is TALL!
    Have a good day! :P

  15. The Right Blue Says:

    That certainly is a big contrast. Are the California poppies blooming now? I know a place on our island where some California poppies were planted, but I have not seen them recently.

    I like your WW a lot – it shows that something little can be as important as something huge!

    Beautiful Poppy, i like them, that is one tall tower.

  20. Alasandra Says:

    Love the yellow flower, it really stands out.

  21. Shubd Says:

    All things big and beautiful
    All things small and wonderful…..

    In how ever much we love Nature , we wouldn't be blogging without the man made wonders !!

    We must respect both :)

    Poppies are such beautiful flowers. They're such a simple flower with such wonderful color.
