Flower power

Best viewed *large*

I've been wanting to blip a flower beetle for so long, taken so many photos, but up till now something has always pipped them to the post. But today I haven't been feeling very well, tears come easily at the moment & I have zero energy & inspiration. Plus it was torrential rain by 4pm & hasn't stopped since. So out of the five photos of this same beetle, this one, won the day. I wish it was better.

As for Larry:

Caught speeding

I had to lie down earlier, I just felt beaten, felt something brush my leg, there was no blanket, no cat, no garment. It felt comforting. So she's here, my mum is with me still xxx
