It’s the shortest day today (for us in the southern hemisphere) and distinctly warm here in Grahamstown (+25 forecast for this afternoon). Time for a bouquet of flowers to celebrate the turn of the seasons.
These flower pictures were all taken during our nine weeks in the Nordic region and England.

You brought me a smile. I pulled out photos of flowers, too, when we were in the drab days of very early spring and my mood was going south.
Thanks Pat, tho it isn’t exactly drab here right now: blue skies and black skies. The first stars we have seen for weeks!
