This is my entry for the Tiny Tuesday challenge  -  thank you to Jensphotos - Newcastle Downunder for hosting.

After the depressing weather yesterday today has been uplifting;  warmer and brighter and we've been able to get outdoors.  Having said that I've not been far...... yet,  I may go for a walk round this afternoon but this morning I've spent time in the garden and it's been lovely, so bright and fresh after all the rain.

I've taken various macro shots today, and goodness know why I'm so "tripod averse", Heaven knows my shots are so much cleaner and sharper when I use one.  It's my new resolution to make the effort to use the tripod  -  I'm always more pleased with my photos when I do.
