Today has been a very hot windy day. Temperature reached 36 degrees C. It has gone a bit cooler now though and is currently about 31 degrees.
I don't very often take photos of flowers but thought this one looked rather colourful. The only problem was there was a bug in it. I thought it may wander off, but no, it was here to stay, so I thought this would be my picture today. The bug is only about 3 mm long.
Thank heaven we are out for dinner tonight, a bit too hot to cook at the moment.
Great colour and the bug is good. I cannot believe it is so hot up there. Today is 13 degrees and we have the fire lit. The kids were in the ocean yesterday!!!
Bug adds character. I saw on the news that your part of the world was getting rather hot - not good news at all for this time of the year. Cold and windy here in the south.
It has been in the 30's here today and also windy. The wind was hot earlier in the day and i took my first swim in the pool today. Don't normally go in until late October but it was a pleasant 21, it felt a bit cold at first but I soon warmed up.
@savannah51 Thanks Sharon. Dinner was brilliant. My daughter Deb lives in Melbourne @gypsy6 and she said it was 13 degrees yesterday and they had the fire lit!!! Strange weather indeed.
@elaine55 Thanks Elaine. It cooled down a bit last night, but was still 26 degrees when we went out for dinner. Cooler today and then hot again tomorrow I believe. It is getting like Melbourne up here these days!!!
Ha ha love the title and the pom pom bit in the middle of the flower too. Can't believe it's that hot and it's only spring!! Can't complain really though as it has been very pleasant in the South East this week.
@savannah51 Will do. We are just preparing for our annual photo club exhibition at the moment - 12 and 13 October and then my sister will be visiting until the end of November. Hoping to get down there for Christmas though.
@paulaw Thanks Paula, I loved the 'pom pom' in the middle too, that was what I intended taking the picture of and then the bug crawled out of it.
It has gone cooler today and is only about 23 degrees. apparently will get hotter again at the weekend. Not usually up to 36 this early in spring though. We could be in for a long hot summer. Fingers crossed not too many busy fires though.
Great shot Babs - Beautiful colours and contrast with the bug. Just also to say thank you for all the support you have given me since I started. I think you were my second follower. Thank you.
@iwatts Thanks Ian. Your welcome, I really enjoy looking at your photos. We each have to support people when we can. I don't seem to see anyone having a really good year this year. Hopefully next year will be better.
