The view out my window

I thought it might turn into something like this,
(see the resemblance?)
but instead we got this!

I don't know if this is the variety of poppy that grows in Flanders Field, but if so, the contrasts must certainly give us reason to pause. Perhaps I would consider the ugliness of war versus the beauty of self sacrifice. Perhaps, something about how God can make all things work together for good, or His knack for the unexpected. Maybe I'd be struck with how Solomon in all his splendor couldn't come up with anything close.

Either way, the view out my window is pretty spectacular this summer.
