I saw this on my way home last night in the distance, so I set about trying to find it and here it is! There were two fields but I couldn't find the other one - might have to get the compass out! :LOL: Anyway, the sun went in as soon as I arrived but I'm still thrilled I found them :D

Both lovely shots :) and congrats on finding them (y) all they seem to grow round here are sheep and cows :( not even a field of rape or anything! Dont suppose you want a lodger do you? :p
 
Ohh they are just lovely.

Can I ask where the fields are....I feel a visit coming on after work today /tomorrow!:clap:
 
is it me or is the fromt middle one, from pic 1 OOF :thinking:

2nd one is brilliant against that sky (y)
 
Very nice (y) Are you going to go back on a glorious sunny day? If we get another one that is :cautious:

Thanks Neil - no filters, it was pretty dull, I just livened it up a bit in Paint Shop. :)

Thank you Grahame, I don't know whereabouts you are in Kent, but these were near Horton Kirby/South Darenth area. :)

Lovely pictures Donna. Perhaps you should organise a flower meet?!
 
Lovely shots, Donna...I'm as jealous as Jimmy that you found some (I can cook, BTW :D ;)), as I can't find any around here either :(. #2 is a splendid ocean of colour - I'd definitely canvas that :)
 
How wonderful. Usually we strive for a field of poppies with a blue sky.. but these look fab with that grey cloudy one. (y)
 
The reds against the grey sky is great, love these Donna (y)
 
That looks like a really good find Donna. Quite sad but I was very excited to find some yesterday, i mean really, they're just flowers. ;)

I hope you're planing to go back again. Those are lovely shots but I think you could get plenty more from that lot. :)
 
:clap:
First one for me; but both excellent (y)
 
Haven't come across any here yet but I haven't been past my usual haunt yet.

Lovely shots Donna and it shows you don't have to have sunsets or sunshine to make beautiful images!


P.s. I like the slightly blurred one in the first as it adds a bit of movement to the scene!
 
Thanks very much once again for all your comments folks - appreciated as always (y):D

Thanks Dazza - fancy getting excited over some flowers ;) I will go back but after the rain last night they're probably all soggy now :(

Thanks Gandhi - I quite like the grey sky although I was cursing the clouds when I got there! Glad you like the blurry one! :D
 
Well done Lady P, I like the first one best. I am going to keep my eye open for something similar near me now! :)
 
gosh. beautiful.

#1 I like the apparent triangle in the bottom left, which pushes above the horizon on the left hand side and meets a reflected triangle of the darker cloud (does that make sense? I know what I mean). Just adds something that a straight horizon wouldnt do I think.

On #2 I like the way the fence posts run across.

Superb sky on both.

Thanks very much who, and to think I was so disappointed that the sun had disappeared. :)

Oooh! youre so lucky ... thats a gorgeous carpet of red you found there (y)
Hope youre going back for more!

Thanks Glo, I went back to day and waited in the car suspiciously waiting for the dark clouds to blow over - it paid off because the blue made a brief appearance. Might bore you later with more poppies with a bit of blue sky! :LOL:
 
These are great Donna, never see poppies round my way....hard to pick the better of these two - my leanings are to number 2 :D

Thanks John - I've never seen quite so many before round here either. :)

I'm still waiting for them down this neck of the woods!:cautious:

Thanks Spencer - I'm sure they'll be popping up soon over there :)
 
I really like the movement in #1...makes it look alive! Those colours against the grey sky really work so well....better than against a blue in some respects......more England, if you know what I mean! And the textures are good too....so delicate yet so strong. Lovely! :clap:
 
Thanks for the location Donna, I am going there tomorrow first thing, so hopefully it will be sunny...dont hold much hope though
