Gold can also be floral! Photograph taken using a macro setting of a Welsh poppy bud against a dark navy background. Shot in the grounds of Dudmaston Hall in Shropshire.

'Shot' is a bit generous when in reality I held up other visitors trying to get past my crouching form with navy coat over one arm as a background and phone in the other trying to get the perfect photo.

Image shows a Welsh poppy bud starting to burst open so its golden petals are seen in a squashed ellipse shape. Either side of the golden petals is the outer bud casing which is covered in tiny, unruly hairs. The casing with drop off once the flower fully emerges.

A close-up shot of yellow Welsh poppies with delicate, papery petals catching bright, warm sunlight. One large poppy in the bottom right is wide open, showing its green central carpel and yellow stamens. Other poppies on slender, curved green stems droop gracefully in the background. The background is a soft, dark green blur with beautiful round light reflections (bokeh) creating a dreamy, peaceful summer atmosphere.

This is the Welsh Poppy, just opened with petals looking like an unmade bed. The particular relevance of this flower at this time is that it is a reminder to make time to go to see those you love or they may be stolen from you before you get round to doing so.

Well, hello #WelshPoppy #papavercambricum . What are YOU doing, growing on my garden path up here in foggy #Leeds on the shortest day of the year? Just chillin', she replied, just chillin' .
