Half full or half empty...?

It is unreal to think we are midway through the summer now... Although we are having a dream weather today,
there hasn't been too many of them. 

(not forgetting that yes, England won the match today...;-))
I hope with all my heart we will see more days like today this summer!

This morning I saw this lovely, lonely poppy blooming in a very neglected (!) flowerbed. It was the only poppy among other flowers - a lone traveller, I guess. I wanted to take a picture of it, but didn't have time on our way to work and school.

However, when I got home this is all that was left! Don't know if it has been intentionally beheaded or if this is nature's way...

But not to despair

- there are more buds so hopefully more chances to take a picture of it in bloom.

I think I choose to be a 'half-full -person'...
