The name ChuPat is derived from my nickname Chuck and my wife of 34 years name Patti. Her photography will appear on Caedes as well from time to time. I consider myself an advanced amature not anyway close to being a professional. I have just taken photography more seriously since I have switched to digital. My profession has always been associated with pohtography in one way or another. Any criticism I receive will be well appreciated.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

To me poppy's have a very special meaning. Not only are they worn for rememberence fay, but the quality of the poppy is my favourite. it was also my Nans favourite flower. This is an exceptional photo and the clarity is amazing. Thanks for sharing a little peice of perfection.

Ah, this was your poppy in the voting booth. So nice and clear and beautiful. Looks like the ones from Flanders Field. I think that's why the veterans sell these in artificial form. This is beautiful and I like the red frame.
Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.

What a very pretty background for this little stunner. I love the color of the green, as it stands up well to the poping red without overpowering it at all, and the brown of the stone with the shades from the greenery in front adds the extra touch of interest. It's hard to tell in this delightful presentation how big that poppy is, but here they grow to be very large with an enormous cup of a center, but just as colorful. Thanks..in my faves :)PJ

Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
Lovely photograph Anita ! I saved this one for two reasons, 1) I think its a well taken and beautiful shot, 2) One of my granddaughters is named Poppy ! she is just as beautiful as the flower in your picture. Thanks so much Anita.
this actually serves as a great meditation piece. the angle you've chosen to shoot this at is the principal reason, but the background is intriguing as well
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an elephant fly.
