Lougris from Toulouse, France

oui, le coquelicot est une fleur très fragile et facilement agitée par la moindre brise, mais des que l'on commence à l'avoir dans son viseur elle devient obsédante...lorsque j'ai fais ma série sur eux il y a quelques semaines, je me metais au lit en imaginant les plans du lendemain !!:):):)
celui ci est très réussi !! bravo
