Basking in the Sun by if1

Basking in the Sun

361 - The Homestead Park has an area of formal flower beds which were completely replanted in the autumn, and the new planting included large areas of Primula Polyanthus, in a wide variety of colours.

Here we have a purple Primula Polyanthus basking in the sun yesterday afternoon - today we are back to grey skies again.

Brilliant colours. That's the great thing about photographs, they are like bottled and preserved tonics of colour and light.

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging comments. It's amazing how a few days sunshine brings spring so much nearer and gets the flowers blooming!
