Poppy

One thing that I’m insipred by is photographing flowers. Especially colourful ones like poppies. I love how the red stands out like this!

First time for me to ever see a lemon tree in real life. It looks so vibrant with those bright yellow colours!

And it was all yellow

Just some pretty daisies at the green patch around the Cabo da Roca monument. There were heaps of flowers and it made for a nice, sunny contrast to the muted grey sky. The yellow is so cheerful!
