And far and wide, in a scarlet tide, the poppy’s bonfire spread.’ - Bayard Taylor⁣ The poppy bloom in 2020 was vibrant and electric. A welcome contrast to the early days of quarantine. ⚡️🌼 ・・・ ⁣ *we deeply respect nature, her beauty + bounty. we took care + caution not to step on or injure the poppies. during this shoot, we used camera angles to create the illusion that we were in and among them. since then, we have also become aware that disturbing the soil around the bloom is just as destructive and have refrained from shooting in the poppies since.* ⁣ #muse @mallorymorrison #photo + #creative @lizbretz #photographer #lizbretz #poetry #poem #poppies #California #zarawoman
