Lest We Forget, Anzac Day – Melbourne Photographer
Posted on April 25, 2010
Poppies are flowers that hold lots of memories for me…. When we came across this field of poppies in Paris last year on our honeymoon, I was on the ground taking photos without hesitation… I’m sure the 100′s of people lining up in the queue to visit the underground Paris Catacombs, thought I was a little odd.. but atleast Michael knew me by now so it wasnt a shock to him.
Memories of picking wild poppies in our backyard for Mum, or maybe just because Mum’s Dad we called him Pop/Poppy.
So its fitting that Poppies also serve as a remembrance symbol of our war heroes young & old.
We lost Pop almost 20years ago, but we will never forget that he served on in WWII on the Kokoda trail & days like today I like to think of him….
