Before The Storm_DSC7122

My poor little poppy will be battered and bruised by now. I ducked out to the garden before the front hit. It's been raining for a while and the wind is steadily building. The worst is expected between 8 and 10pm and we'll be out in the middle of it all as we're heading out to Rotary dinner.
Thank you all for your lovely response to yesterdays's wave shot.

Similar weather on our coast today too. Hope the storm passes quickly.

Poor Poppy, we seem to be having the same weather pattern! I dashed out to get a shot of my first Camelia of the season, tomorrow it will be brown ;-(

Beautiful -it's amazing you have poppies now :) Hope the storm didn't do too much damage - it's going to drop out to sea and not reach us this time :)
