Anenome blanda.

A good start to the day as I got stuck into giving the kitchen a thorough clean quite early then relaxed until groceries were delivered. Got them all put away and photographed in the garden. It was colder than yesterday and I chickened out of more gardening. Drove up to Strath and found a possible photo at a favourite layby then walked in the Community Woodland. I'd forgotten there was blackthorn there and it's just starting to come into flower so must go back again in a few days.
Once home I remembered I needed to buy bird food.. Sunflower hearts have gone up in price quite a bit. After that I faffed around looking at small trees and shrubs as I may be going to remove a couple of shrub roses. Not really decided and it won't happen for a while.

Wilco's bird feed has remained the same price throughout the winter, just the starlings are getting to like it. Nice little number on your Anemone's Jean.

Your focus on the stamens is lovely and the raindrops look like they are going to drop off any any second! They look beautiful on the dark background. I always look forward to the blackthorn blossom. I notice they have started here too.

Delicate and beautiful..........I love the way you've captured one in focus and the other out-of-focus. It's very effective, especially on the darker background. Cleverly done Jean.

I've started buying my wild birds supplies online. I can recommend this company: www.mypetssupply.co.uk/collections/wild-bird if it helps!
