Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Peridot Poppy” by Rebecca Wilks.

“The Arizona desert gold poppy bloom was not prolific this year, but there are always opportunities for detail work,” said Wilks. “After walking the field for some time, I was struck by the curves of this half-furled bloom.” The image was shot with a Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 100m f2.8 macro.
