FOR RONJA

A better day than the last, her indoors was less like a bear with a sore head, possibly the trip over to Harrogate had something to do with it, after a bite of lunch we pulled in to reservoir at bottom of Blubberhouses, she read the Sunday paper whilst I started to snap away looking for a blip, as it happens, although there were some grand shots of the water, trees, snow and the like I decided I just liked this simple flower reaching out through the snow outside Betty's , just found it quite sweet and full of hope for the coming of spring.

I'm dedicating this photo to Julienne, an old and dear friend who had to say goodby to her much loved Ronja this weekend, she'll be wagging her tail in Doggy heaven now and keeping an eye out for you Julie.
