Too Early but Welcome.

I posted a picture of this rhododendron on the 21st December when it was just coming out. Today it's got more blooms on than ever before. It was a welcome sight when I went into the garden a little while ago during a brief period when it wasn't raining.

I'm sorry about my absence from 365. I rather lost my mojo - post Christmas blues, miserable weather and a looming tax return deadline all contributed. I did take some photos on Christmas Day and again on New Year's Day so I'll soon fill the gaps and I'll catch up with all your photos too. A Happy New Year to you all.

Very beautiful but so strange. Must be the worst and wettest winter ever, so gloomy and dull. Roll on some brighter, drier and sunnier weather.

Lovely to see a bit of colour in the winter!

I love the colours in this shot, the pink and pale green are so pretty.

These pretty flowers would cheer up the darkest days, even if they are too early.

Lovely shot such a pretty colour. I understand how you felt, I have been struggling as well, wondered if I continue for a fifth year, but would miss my friends so now I am trying to catch up with everyone
