Spring Flowers Again

Just one of those days where everything conspires against you to break and fail and generally frustrate the heck out of you all day long. One of these was the email server which went down for two days, the home phone line and the house central heating started leaking and had to be turned off all day while the fix it man did his best. It was not a good day to be stuck at home with various tradesmen all day, in a cold house, with no access to the internet or email or the outside world on the phone. Bizarre. Just not used to it.
This flower was just sitting asking to be a new blip again. I tried lots of lensbaby macro shots and some were a bit gloomy and dreary which just did not seem appropriate for a spring flower. This one had punch and vibrancy so it wins.
