This week’s weather has been a real treat: full sun and almost 30 C! So it has been a happy week.
It seems that everything is starting to bloom all at once, a joy to watch!
...
Maybe I’ll present you this bright red beauty.
It’s hard to count how many layers this dancer has in her dancing dress!
Papaver orientale ’Olympia’ has not exactly my favourite colour and it’s stem is very curvy.
In my last post I said that it is at its best in bud, looking like this.
But then she spread her skirt, and pretty she is!
A disadvantage is that it does not exactly match the purple alliums, that bloom at the same time.
I don’t let this papaver seed, but it pops up here and there every summer.
This one happens to be a very beautiful specimen, not lying on the ground as they do often!
So I’ll let her bloom.
Then I succeeded in photographing the first butterfly of the summer.
I think it is Vanessa cardui - Ohdakeperhonen.
I just love this part of Swan Lake!
Uma beleza de fotografias.
VastaaPoistaUm abraço e bom fim-de-semana.

Suloista viikonloppua!

VastaaPoistaIt is a beautiful flower. Love to see it in its bud form and in full bloom. The bright colour brightens up the place and help to attract insects like the pretty butterfly. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Riitta!
VastaaPoistaBeautiful poppies and great photos.
Have a nice weekend:)
Your flowers are so wonderful! Itˋs so fascinating when everything is so colorful and bright in spring and early summer.
VastaaPoistaPoppies grow everywhere here in my part of the world but I don't mind because the the bees love them so much. Your first butterfly image turned out great! I hope you get many more chances during the summer.
