Day 158, of my 2016 sketch a day challenge

A stroll along Kessingland beach on a beautiful sunny day and over the weekend the Yellow Horned Poppies have started to flower. I have been awaiting for this to happen a sketch which has been in the planning for a while now.

Yellow Horned Poppy (Glaucium flavum) with it’s yellow flowers a common summer flower along our shingle beaches and sand. So why Yellow Horned poppy? this is because once it has flowered the seed heads lengthen and curl like “horns”. Please take care as if broken the yellow sap is poisonous.
