Every spring the fields of the Languedoc are splashed with scarlet poppies.

South of France Poppies
They've been popping up everywhere. A single stem on the side of the road, a wide red ribbon at the edge of a vineyard, an entire field bordered by plane trees and sun faded stone buildings.
Poppies. Coquelicots.
The flower of May.

Photo du Jour - Poppies
I literally slammed on the brakes when I saw this gorgeous field of coquelicot while driving to Narbonne to buy cheese and meet friends for lunch the other day. Luckily there was no one following dangerously close to my rear bumper, as drivers tend to do in this part of France.
Is tailgating a France thing? Or a south of France thing?
Another reason why I always try to have my camera with me.
(Not to document the accident I would have caused...but to take photos of the pretty flowers, of course!) Pin It

Photo du Jour - Poppies
Yesterday. Such a gorgeous day.
I drove around a bend in the road and there was this field of poppies with the Montagne Noire in the background. Pin It
