See you next year, Poppy

Every year I wait impatiently for the poppies to show up. Some shy ones start to bloom very early in spring, but the peak is around May. That's when lawns (if not mowed) fill up with the delicate red petals. And it is so spectacular I can stop myself from shooting them. Every year. Even though they always look the same.
It doesn't matter.
I love poppies. I don't know if it is their delicate nature with ballsy colour, or some indescribable calm they bring.

This group I found in a local park. With so many wildflowers blooming around, they still pop, and it's so hard to miss them.

The day, though sunny, was a bit windy, and I was having a hard time catching them in focus. One of those times where half of the photos end up in the bin ;)

Here are some neighbouring wildflowers that look like rucola.

It is a shame that soon after I took those photos the grass and flowers were cut down. I am sure many of them managed to produce seeds, but seeing the dry poppy heads would make me drag my camera again to that spot to take more photos :D

The rush is over. Now it's only the late ones or the brave ones will bloom here and there.

So beautiful. That first one looks like it's made of crepe paper with the sun shining threw it like that.

Dear beloved Hive creator,

Coding poet Gudasol here to support you sharing your art + life on Hive.

As a fellow creator, I know how hard it is to get the word out there.

I built cXc.world to help creators like us get more support from the blockchain community + beyond.

Share your music on cXc.world, and copy the Markdown for a easy post includes embedded players for Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud.

That way, you can earn HIVE + stack streams on centralized platforms, as they do still matter.

Not a music creator? No problem. You can still use cXc.world to find + share music you love.

What's next?

Preview the next evolution of cXc, Tetra.earth.

Expose local music from your area!

We're helping grassroots musicians, and you can too by adding their music (no sign up or WAX account required).

Bad news: Saying see you later to Hive! 👋

We didn't get the needed support to continue cXc.world on Hive, as our DHF proposal lacked votes, but [Good News Everyone] cXc.world will add a Markdown copy button, allowing you to easily share your music + music you find on Hive.

For now, we're on WAX, with tools you can use to mint your own Music/Media NFT collection.
