The Sentinels

Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 16 February 2008 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

The last of the poppies. All that stands now are the stalks and the pods. The rain, time and the wind has blown away the blossoms and the pods stand like solitary sentinels.

I am on holidays from August 17th until August 26th ....whee!! Although I will be home for the first few days, on the 21st we are heading to the States mainly to go to Tacoma Washington to attend the Gaither Gospel Homecoming Tour on Friday the 22nd. We are in for a real treat. We will also be tourists for a while and hopefully will come back with lots of good pictures. Anyhow, all of that to say I probably won't be visiting your wonderful sites for at least the 21st - 26th, but I promise I will catch up. I will prepost.
