Rain, rain

Miserable drizzly and cold weather once more kept us inside.
I ventured out to get this shot in my slippers. This is a small poppy that grew from the wild in the vegetable plot.
Three good things:
1. Some people have a sad and difficult time especially at this time. All one can do is provide words of support!
2. Our DNA tests arrived today - how exciting but some weeks before we hear of the results.
3. Wonderful wildlife shots seen here on 365!

A sweet little flower. The holidays are hard for so many people, I do try to hold people up when they are blue.

A stunning capture with wonderful clarity and colour. Many people get very sentimental this time of the year, I am one of them ;-)

@ludwigsdiana There's no reason to feel guilty about this! Sentimental means you do have active emotions!
