purple and framed

Battered by the wind and rain, petals partly eaten by slugs or snails, I think I should have grabbed a shot whilst this anemone was still in bud.

And it is a beautiful purple colour too. It looks like it had been through a lot.

That sounds impressive. This one, just the one, seems to appear in the same place each year!

Very pretty capture and matching framing.

Thats life. Most of us get a battering along our lifes journey getting through it all and still be standing is an achievement.

I like your philosophy, Wendy - and apparent stoicism.

I looked at the link and, drawing a parallel with cakes, I think they are the equivalent of what my kids used to call 'shop-bought'!!
