Nearly but not quite! http://www.the-thompsons.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html The intention was to start one of the ubiquitous photo a day blogs, but without any real commitment of purpose! iWeb 3.0.1 http://www.the-thompsons.com/Site/Blog/Blog_files/DMT_4305.jpg Nearly but not quite! http://www.the-thompsons.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html Poppies at Amberly http://www.the-thompsons.com/Site/Blog/Entries/2009/6/4_Poppies_at_Amberly.html f2ff81c0-f900-42c3-be94-171d07c9986f Thu, 4 Jun 2009 16:51:03 +0100 <a href="http://www.the-thompsons.com/Site/Blog/Entries/2009/6/4_Poppies_at_Amberly_files/IMG_0127.jpg"><img src="http://www.the-thompsons.com/Site/Blog/Media/object024_1.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:364px; height:173px;"/></a>I drove past these on the way to work in Portsmouth this morning, and I love the colours so I grabbed the compact camera I keep in my bag when I can’t be bothered to carry the DSLR and grabbed this. The sky is blown, but I do love the red of the poppies!

It’s just outside Le Grande Arche entrance to the La Defence Metro station; I’d arrived a hour or so early for a meeting, so took the opportunity to walk around. I only had the G10 compact with me so not the most technically brilliant shot.
