finding the flowers…..

Under a bright blue sky at about 9.30 am this morning I nosed round the garden to see if there was anything new and found the first rose in the hedge where two birds are busy flying in and out feeding their noisy babies – then one  deep pink little flower pushing through from next door, quite close to the rose!

But the compact foxgloves I found later were lined up in a flower shop in town at £7.99 (one per pot)… and that’s where they stayed!

So here’s a bit of yesterday ~
Soft evening light
on flower and fig.
Then today
two miserable birds
feathers soaked
sit against the grey…
