On the Wing...

A lavender flower suddenly opened on my pot plant on the deck table. It reminded me of bird’s or a butterfly's wings!

Three good things:
1. My camera hooked on to the focus just once which was enough!
2. Coffee outside in the sun - almost too hot!
3. Replacing two lights in the bathroom - better than daylight now!

@joannakate I expect that there will be more 'petals' that will develop on the lavender, Joanna.
