zooming in

a detail shot of yesterday’s poppies. i was pretty chuffed with the detail in this photo (because i don’t have a macro lens).  it was also a thrill for me to see the beginning of those glorious poppy seedpods. this poppy was in a pot on my front step. after photographing it yesterday, i put it back out side on the stoop. today the bloom looked like a wet kleenex–not nearly as photogenic. yet one more reminder on why dailiness is so powerful (not that you really needed one :-).
