We do have some arable on the farm, but mostly grass for sileage or haylage, and a bit of crops. Â But I’d spotted this field a while ago with the poppies on the roadside and wanted to go back and take some photos.
I went back last Sunday thinking the wheat would have been harvested, but it was still there. Â The field has no fence or hedge, it’s right up to the road, with a tiny grass verge/path separating the road and field. Â I jumped out with my phone and camera, and started snapping away, much to the amusement of various drivers going past.
I could have done with a bit more distance alongside the field because I struggled to get down low enough without sitting the the road, but I was really pleased with the photos that I got.

Love this, the poppies look wonderful against the wheat.
Wonderful scenery; all gone round here!
that’s a wonderful photo. the splash of red is magical. i love the wheat behind them too. i noticed it is like another one on the link this week. must have been something in the air:)
Great shot! The golden dried wheat makes for the perfect backdrop of the red poppies, glad you stopped!
As the years go by you seem to see these less and less. I think too much spraying of crops might be to blame
