Hyacinth.

It's been blowing a gale all day with gleams of sun and frequent rain showers. Friends are walking in Pitmedden forest tomorrow and plan to come for coffee in the garden afterwards . All day I've been nipping in and out tidying up then coming in till rain passes. It's been an incentive to work on the sitting area which I've ignored until today. Removed lots of wild strawberry which has ramped through the gravel. The garden is meant to be a bit wild but it's gone over the top recently. I was rescued by a phone call from Gil. We had a nice chat and decided that we could meet up if the weather improved, get takeaway coffee and sit side by side in our cars with the windows open.
Afterwards I went to the Pillars for milk and biscuits then came back and washed all the bird poo off the garden furniture. That's me organised for Alison and Bill but, if the weather tomorrow is like today I think we'll have to call the meeting off.

Very nice indeed...........I like the selective focus and the blue and purple colours. I thought you'd found some bluebells at first..........but it's still a bit early for them.

Sorry to hear you're having rotten weather. It's been lovely and sunny here today. Hoping for good weather tomorrow as well as I'm off to meet a friend to take some photos.

Take care Jean..........I hope you have a good day tomorrow!

Every time I see a macro flower shot of yours Jean, I immediately leave IP and search Micro 4/3rds Macro lenses, Fortunately they have been out of stock since before Christmas by most of the retailers. Even the Second hand ones on Ebay look well past it and not worth any consideration. Fantastic Macro by the way and I like the colour.

The hyacinth looks beautiful from this perspective. A lovely colour. I only have the pink ones and they are all outside. They have survived the frost, which is surprising! I hope the weather is good for your friends visit Jean. It's my daughter's birthday tomorrow, so we are also keeping our fingers crossed regarding the weather!
