A lot of poppies

[pilottttt]

We found this poppy field near the city of Gazalkent, Uzbekistan. Poppies fade very quickly, but we still managed to photograph them.

For details (in Russian), see here.

Yes! That one that looks curved at the top is amazing!

This is the set for a grand adventure about to happen.

Well, yes, that's right - I remember one little episode from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".

The other thing scarlet poppies connote to me is Remembrance Day in Britain, Canada, and Australia (and to a lesser extent Memorial Day, observed in late May, here in the U.S.; November 11 is devoted to honoring living veterans.) What connotations do they have out your way?

[pilottttt]

Probably, they are also associated with pastry.
