Wild Poppy

     While the other students went to a lecture on women's studies, I stayed behind to work on a research paper that's due any day.  But, I did get a chance to explore the large fields behind our hotel and made some nice wildflower discoveries.  This shot of a wild poppy

was definitely a winner!       ACOR (American Center for Oriental Research) is the place we're staying.  Although it's in the middle of the city near the University of Jordan, it is situated in the middle of huge fields, brimming with wildflowers and plants.  It got this photo at about 5:00 this evening.  It turned out beautifully.
