Poppies near Pouillé in the Cher Valley
This field is on the road between the wine villages of Mareuil-sur-Cher and Pouillé, just west of Saint-Aignan on the south banks of the Cher River. CHM and I drove by it a couple of times last week, and on Saturday we stopped and took a few pictures.

CHM obviously took the picture of me on the edge of the field of red flowers. I didn't have my camera, so he handed me his and told me to take a couple of pictures with it myself. I really don't know who took what picture here, but the field is so photogenic that it doesn't matter.
Here's a copy of the new banner photo.

Magnificent (not sure about the shirt/poppy combo though...)
ReplyDeleteOh, these photos have made my day. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteSusan, you are right, I should have taken the shirt off and just worn my blue T-shirt for the photo.
ReplyDeleteThe poppies are one of our favorite sights of travelling thru France - we never really see them here in Melbourne.
ReplyDeletefabulous photos... those poppy fields are a marvellous thing to look at!
ReplyDeletelove the poppies
ReplyDeleteWe drove past this field last Friday but didn't stop to shoot photos. I took one from the car, but it's all blurry and has no real depth. Thank you for posting these; they are exellent! Martine
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Thanks to CHM;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Quintessential June :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, great header. We're so glad that coquelicots usually linger through September, though not in such an eye-popping way.
ReplyDeleteWow! I don't think I've ever seen them in person. Nice look for the new banner :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful field of poppies!
