    And another submission. Ok, I did actually buy this plant at the local diy store with this challenge in mind. But as the flower is now starting to emerge, sods law that we don't get any bright sun after work, only clouds. So the image looks a little flat.

    A poppy flower trying to burst out.

    RP, some tubes, and the 70-200.

    The second day. We got home, and we had to pretty well go straight back out again. So I grabbed a quick shot. I noticed that the steam was now straight, and it is a little more open.

    Cheers Craig. I have to admit I was struggling t find something to run with at the start of this months challenge.

    In your face or what. I have been watching the clouds for the last few days wanting them to just break a little for some bright light.

    Bonus, I finally found something that was not a flower and yellow.
