A sitting shot

...from the couch inside and focusing on our lavender on the outside.
I used the EV to create the darkness as the sun was actually shining on the lavender which brought them out.
Thankful for:
Sun was good but wind was not. My washing blew off the line.

@congaree It says I took this at 7pm, John - not true - must adjust my camera clock - it was 6pm and there was still light.

Really pretty night shot of these lovely flowers….not dark yet but it looks it here!
