After the rain

It has rained and rained and rained, but then it did dry up this afternoon.

I stayed at home to do lots of lists and emails for the festival which starts on Saturday. Did I mention it by any chance?


I was briefly hairdresser too.

This afternoon I wandered around the garden and enjoyed the dampness and the water droplets on the leaves and flowers.  I took lots of photos but the Japanese anemone won for my blip. I love the softness of this image and the colours.

In my extra is a puzzle. This looks like a hover fly to me. It seems to have some worm like structure in front of it. I can't decide if it has been caught in a bit of spider's web and is cleaning itself up or something else. Any insect experts out there??

Very tired today and need another early night.
