Pathetic Poppy

My mom had requested that I take photos of a poppy...for one of her friends.  Which is why I went on the search to Elysium, where I found none!   On the drive home I spotted this pathetic little poppy holding on to its overdue demise...in an un-photographable spot...so I picked it to photograph at home.  However, on the way home, the car was hot, it got flattened by the camera bag, it then got squished into a water bottle...which stayed up right with a little bit of water in the bottom...until I went to bring it inside, and the bottle fell...  you get the just, of this poor poppy and the photos!  ;-)
