Spent

Had a lovely day out today with @julzmaioro at the Eden Gardens. In amongst the lovely tulips, this spent stalk caught my eye - it somehow has beauty, even without its coloured petals.

Must be lovely to have a friend to go out with camera.......a good chat, perhaps a coffee & some great pictures!

@happypat yep - @julzmaioro and I are good at all of those - although sometimes lots of pics get deleted….. So nice to have a great camera buddy.
