This may not be right for this challenge as the blurb talked about long exposures. However, for me, this picture has a dreamlike quality because the focus on the bricks makes the poppy ghostlike, intangible, the stuff of dreams where you reach but cannot grasp. Apologies if it is not what you hoped to see.
Dream Poppy
I like it
Thanks! I have another, but I think it’ll keep for another day.
lovely
I didn’t understand the long exposure thing but I like this!
Thanks. I need to read it again I think.
I like it too. You had me reaching out to touch the screen. I am with you, I love the hardscape of the brick with the soft pastels floating……
I’ve looked at several other entries and they are all interpreting it their own way with no reference to long exposures, so at least I’m safe with the crowd!
interpret away, Isobel! that’s what makes viewing these simply-titled emails so fascinating.
Yes, it’s fun seeing how people interpret them isn’t it.
I think it’s perfect!
Thanks!

this is dreamy!!! love it…here is my own take on the weekly photo challenge…http://langaeh.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/weekly-photo-challenge-dreaming/
Popping over to see yours now.
Love this, Isobel. Also the contrast between the solid tangibility of that lovely wall and the wraiths in front…
You know, I was going to trash it, then I looked again and liked it. I love our walls but some determined neighbours are plotting to paint them
trade ‘em for your insect castle! tit for gnat or something like that!

Seeing the challenge interpreted a bit differently by everyone is my favorite part, I’m glad you shared it!
Sometimes they are pretty tenuous aren’t they! And there are some amazing photographers on WP.
I like the abstract quality of the photo which to me feels like a dream.
Thank-you.
Love this – the softness of the flowers against the hard uniform of the brick is a lovely contrast. Top marks.
Marks, I’ve got marks!
Do you tweet btw?
Full marks 10/10!
Unfortunately not, have thought about it but gone no further with it.
Ah well, just wondered.
