Breezes, blue skies and spring beauty

The poppies blooming in the backyard beckoned. I made a meander through the yard stopping to savor each bloom, each burgeoning plant.

 The papery petals of poppy bring delight to my heart.
Purple-hued centers surrounded by a globe of stamen.

 Does not the swish of this blooms petals seem like a dancer?

Next I communed with the valerian, scents neither sweet nor cloying, but evidently appealing g to insects.
