Poppy

After weeks of searching I finally found the male pheasant. Whenever I am out on a morning tour I can hear him without ever managing to locate him, and today I found out where he likes to roam, though he vanished into the tall grass just as quickly as I caught a glimpse of him. Next time I’ll get you. So a poppy for today instead.
