Inspired by October Trees of +Hazel Caplen here is view of a park somewhere on Via dei Casamenti, San Marino, near the Italian border. The image was captured by GSV Camera in October. The flowering hedge is in full bloom and the leaves of the young tree have already adapted to the fall colour.

Field of Red Poppies

The red poppy is a symbol of remembrance of all those who laid down their life in line of duty during the the two World Wars. It is also a reminder to the futility of all the wars and the unnecessary blood which is shed during any war.

Bougainvillea in Bloom

While roaming the streets of Honolulu I came across these lovely bougainvilleas in full bloom. The plant is not native to Hawaii and was introduced in Honolulu sometimes in 1830s; it has however taken deep roots on the Islands and is one of the most popular flowering plant in the region.

Giant Red Poppies

This sculpture of two giant red poppies is installed at Lefevre Park at the intersection of Roman Road/Legion Terrace in Poplar, London. I had seen this in Google Earth couple of years back and during my trip to England in summer of 2011, I took my family there without telling them what to expect. The sight of these giant poppies came as pleasant surprise to all specially my grand children who enjoyed taking its photos in spite of the rain. (Photos taken during my trip)

Roses N' Roses

Rosaleda (Rose garden) in Buen Retiro Park, Madrid, has a large collection of Roses and roaming through it in Google Street View was a visual treat.

 This garden should not be confused with another and probably the official Rosaleda de Madrid (Rose Garden of Madrid) where roses are grown and tested.
