The morning after

... the night before!

These tiny sprigs of heather and short stemmed Californian poppies are rescued casualties of yesterday's gardening. It went dark soon after I'd put them in this small jug, when the poppies spiralled their petals into eyes-closed sleep-mode. As soon as I opened the curtains this morning, they opened up again, too. Thank you to Biker bear, Anni, as ever for hosting Flower Friday.

My Extra is of a sailing contest at Dartmouth Royal Regatta. The annual event has been running all week and finishes tomorrow. We've kept away from the town as it is usually seething, and with no parking spaces, but it was nice to catch a glimpse from five miles away. The weather's been very kind all week. Hope it stays so for the UK's Bank Holiday weekend.
