What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
16 years ago it was this Welsh poppy (Meconopsis cambrica), whilst on a walk in North Yorkshire.

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Seven years ago it was this Rudbeckia hirta ‘Sunbeckia Luna’ flower (at least I think that’s what it is…)
I could probably pick fault with the quality this image in a number of ways but as it makes me smile I won’t!
Here endeth today’s lesson! 😁
