Giant Poppies, Sargentville Maine

Deep in the overgrown flower beds at Edgehill House in Sargentville Maine, these giant Poppies burst out on the second day of our visit. Just a single flower first, and then more each day. I think of these a very “old fashioned” flowers…you don’t see them in yards in Maine much these days. They were far into the jungle of Beebalm and thistle so this is a moderate telephoto shot, with lots of Program Shift to increase depth of field enough to catch both the two flowers in the foreground and the single flower in the background in focus.
