Poppies

A summer afternoon and the poppies have taken over the whole slope. A woman comes down through the long grass with a green parasol over her shoulder and a small child in a straw hat wading along beside her, barely tall enough to see over the flowers.

Two more figures are up near the treeline, and beyond them a red-roofed house sits quietly among the poplars. Monet signed this one down in the grass, in the bottom corner!
