30 Days of Gratitude- Day 11

Today is remembrence Day and I am truly grateful for all the men and woman who lost their lives so that we may live in peace. Lest we Forget
These poppies are in my garden.

In Flanders’ Fields

In Flanders’ Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders’ Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders’ Fields.

Your work is beautiful. Like you, I am new to photography (3 weeks!)
Actually, I'm not new to photography per se, but to digital photography in particular. I try to get close-up shots of teeny flowers and insects and only sometimes succeed....but one has to keep on trying!

What a lovely flower and a lovely photograph of it.

May I use it on my website. I'm looking for a few red and purple shots.

Its for my Halifax Red Hat website. I'd add where it came from.

That is if I can find you again.
