on closer inspection

I am pretty much limiting myself to shots taken in the garden with my macro lens this week. These geraniums are very understated plants which thrive in a shady area, the flowers don't exactly leap out and grab your attention and it wasn't until I took a much closer look at them that I realised how intricate they are.

Today has mostly been taxi driving duties for me. Both boys announced that they had been invited out for the day. Both in opposite directions and about an hour apart. Mind you it hasn't stopped raining all day so I haven't felt much like doing any gardening anyway. Lots of housework to do tomorrow because the weather looks pretty poor for then too.

Got my Mum and Dad coming round this evening. It will be good to hear about heir holiday last week.
