Lavender

While we are in lockdown I have spent a lot of time over the last few days doing some much needed gardening and, of course, I can't spend time in the garden without taking photos of flowers.

You know I don't post photos of flowers very often so prepare yourself for some flowers from me over the next couple of days.

It is so nice to see the lavender beginning to flower and this is the first flower we have seen so far. There are lots of buds too so it won't be long before we have lots and lots of lavender flowers.

So good that you get time to spend in the garden, we profit from it too ;-) Lovely shot of your beautiful lavender, the colour is fabulous.

A very different lavender flower Babs, the colour is quite pale…..interesting to see the Aus version. Lockdown is a real challenge for us photographers….flowers will be nice but I know what you mean, I hardly ever post flowers either…..

Enjoy the gardening!
