Fuchsia in the Rain

Back in York since Saturday and we have had several dull days with rain showers, so here I resorted to taking a shot of these fuchsia flowers in our front garden from inside our house.

Fuchsia are another flower that remind me of the Isle of Man. On a long walk some years ago in the south of the island I came across a lovely display of these flowers where they had gone wild and formed a long arch over and along the track I was walking along - really good memories!

Beautiful shot. I love these flowers. I tried to raise them once in my garden but they were not strong enough to resist our warm weather.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

I like Sarah and Erin R's description of them as ballerinas, that seems to suit them well!

Thank you Nina - the memory photos prior to 2005 are all transparencies. I'm hoping to spend time over the winter scanning some of them.
