First proper rain we’ve had for a while. I’m a fair weather gardener. Meant less time weeding than I planned today, but the water butts are topped up. The sun is out, catching the rain drops on every surface. Including Nature’s own pompoms. Weird but wonderful. Feels like it could shake the droplets away, any minute.
Alpine Anemone. In case you are wondering.
It looked like this a month or so ago.
Sigh. How time flies.
Amazing detail on these, my favourites of the week
Thank you for linking up
Thanks Darren. It is one of my favourites in the garden.
These are a delight to the eyes and a lovely capture of rain. I was trying to explain to my eldest that rain was like a drink to the flowers. #MySundayPhoto
Thanks Helena. I hope she understood what you meant!
what a dramatic change in the flower
It is fascinating.
Thank you for your comment on the elm seed. I don’t know what part of the country you live in but down here in th south east we have lots of Elms. We did have a problem with Dutch Elm Disease and still do to some extent but here where I live they treated a lot of the trees and saved them. At the moment they all seem to be producing seed and the place is swirling with huge swathes of seeds. very pretty when its windy.
Also the shape of theis tree is beautiful if left to grow to its natural size.
At this moment we are getting some much needed rain, lets hope it keeps up for a while longer.
I remember the elm trees being felled back in the 70s. Different area to us now, but I don’t think I’ve seen any round here.
The detail is stunning, I do love nature photos displaying there natural beauty X #mysundayphoto
Me too.
Beautiful photos. Glad your water butts are topped up too #MMBC
There is always a silver lining.
Beautiful flowers with amazing detail. #MMBC
It is beautiful in all three states.
I Love the details in your photos and I love flowers that take on different forms.
Thanks Anne. This one certainly changes.
Oh wow, so interesting to see the changes in the flower with time. Love the detail and the raindrops in the first shot.
I love seeing the transformation of the flowers from this plant each year.
Beautiful! The detail you’ve got is amazing. 🙂
Thank you. It’s amazing what you see close up.
