BIRTH OF A POPPY.

Woke up on a grey, damp day, but noticed my favourite poppy was starting to open so decided to take photos of it.  The first extra was the start as I photographed  it over an hour. It was so interesting and the main blip is how it ended up. Hope you like it. My last extra was one of six baby blue tits that came out of the nest box this morning.
I am posting early as my neighbours and their daughter are coming over at 4pm for wine and nibbles. As it is drizzley weather we are having it under my plastic roofing in the garden which used to be a dog run when I was showing my dogs.
Thank you so much for your visit, it is really appreciated.
