Life and Death of a Poppy Field

I was not the only one out shooting portraits in this magnificent poppy field in Mate Yehuda recently. I was one of those who also saw the poppies themselves as brilliant subjects in their own right.
A poppy field has a life cycle, and this collection covers a two week period from its prime to its end. Its demise was said to be floricide at the hands of Israeli Mossad agents in much of the media.
