I wasn't going to submit this as Image was more the view I wanted. But as soon as I opened it up I saw that I had to. I bought a poppy a minute or two later and the seller insisted (as he was doing with every one) that he pin it on me. The woman delving in her purse bought one just before me for the girl with her. I just wish I'd got a picture that expressed the bounce in the girl's step as she walked off, proud of her poppy.
