poppy

so, i was walking through campus yesterday and decided to take a side route because i wanted to avoid an oncoming crowd of folks. granted, there were maybe.. three of them, but meh. though! in doing so, i came across two poppies. one was already going to sleep for the day and this one was wide open, taking in the lingering rays of sun. i was inspired to take a picture and i'm pretty happy with how it turned out :]

but on a food-related note, i wonder how many different cultures use poppy seeds in their food? i think i've only seen the seeds in muffins and dressing.. but that's it. hmm.. maybe i'll be inspired enough by the beauty of it all and try to make a dish that requires poppy seeds!
