In between showers yesterday, I went outside to empty out a container that was overflowing when I spotted these two growing out of a side-planter. I just had to run and get my umbrella and the camera and take this lovely photo of them.
This morning, however, they were closed up and dried. I counted myself very lucky to have gotten the photos I did. I love the way the raindrops cling to the bottom edges of the top one and the little one looks like it's sheltering underneath it!
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
It's such a pity I had to pull them out this morning with gloves on... I know some of these gorgeous guys can be very lovely to the eye, but also very poisonous and I didn't wish to take my chances with them. Usually, I get other ones growing around my lawn when it rains this much; but not this time.
Thanks for all your wonderful comments guys... when I pulled them out, I did take the precaution of using gloves; even when I had to put them in the bin. Such a pity they didn't last very long.
i love this shot!
