05/03/2020 Playing with frames.....

Maximum temperature in the Charente today 12C, minimum 6C. Rain all day not measured as yet.  I am guessing that we are now over 200 mm this year.  36km/h North-westerly wind with gusts up to 86 km/h.  

Because the weather is so bad I have been trying to take a few photos of flowers that are not too beaten up and I have been playing with frames for them.  Something different!!

Cowslips (Primula veris).

I think this is wild Sea Mayweed (Tripleurospermum maritimum).

Gorse (Ulex europaeus).

House orchid (Cymbidium).

Wild buttercup (Ranunculaceae).

Snowdrop (Galanthus nivali).

Unknown blossom in the neighbour's orchard.

Wild Greater Stitchwort (Stellaria holostea).

Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus).

Japanese quince ( Chaenomeles japonica).

Hyacinth (Hyacinthus).

Camellia.

  5. Lovely flower photos. I think you framed them beautifully. You cannot tell it is raining where you are from these photos. It is still raining where I am too but sunny days once in awhile. Spring blossoms are here at least and soon it will be time to put in the gardens.

    1. I would be more than happy if it was 36C here. We have had a mild winter (so far) but still too cold for my thin blood!!! Have a great week, Diane
