Lace Cap.

I have been deciding which photos I am entering for the photo exhibition at the show next week.
This is one I have picked for the coloured wild flowers & fauna category.
I am also entering a black & white version of my dandelion head plus a few others.

We have had no rain today!!! It has been a sunny warm & very pleasant day & we are so thankful!

I like thisone Pat, I like the mix of clarity and slight blur in the editing.
