Poppies!

Every time I hear the word "poppies" spoken all by itself, I can't help but think of The Wizard of Oz.

I don't think these particular poppies have any sinister qualities to them.  I found these in a garden in Scottsdale.  They were growing right next to a royal blue ceramic vase so I framed this orange poppy with the blue background.

The poppies themselves, were very bright and eye catching.  Poppies are a very cheerful flower.  They look very delicate and almost like they were made of tissue paper.
