Poppy in field of daisies- # 08/166

The Summer wildflowers are looking very pretty this week, BT Broadband is failing to work properly.

(By the way...my broadband speed has dropped to less than 20% of what it should be. Consequently it has become difficult to speedily review my regular CDP favourites. Please excuse an apparent lack of my presence on your comments pages. I was never a prolific commenter - although Richard of Zurich might breathe a sigh of relief -, but this slow-speed bug is making it tiresomely slow to even look at the enjoyable snaps that you all produce. BT assure me that they will fix it, but I have a nasty feeling that it might be a longish process. Anyway, rest assured of my support and interest. I will return when BT gets itself organised and once again provides what I am actually paying for).

Wild flowers in the summer lawn - # 164

Run across the lawn and you will tread on these without knowing or giving a second thought. Pause at a distance, or put down the camera, close up to the daisies, and set it on macro, and your "world-view" is transformed and your day gains a special extra delightful bonus.

This delightful patch of pink and white was snapped several days ago in a lawn at Ham House.
