The Chow Chow dog is one of the oldest dog breeds, originating from northern China. One distinctive feature is its purple tongue.
This one was very shy and mostly hid behind the girl walking him.

Poking through the fence today …

A single snowdrop …

Tiny little green things growing on the stop of an old tin of golden syrup … it was a very big tin.

Love spending time with these beauties.

If, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said,
the earth laughs in flowers
then this flower laughed so hard it cried.

Some see a weed … others see a wish.
Weighed down by the rain, it’s harder to take off.

I must have flowers, always, and always – Claude Monet
I’m with Claude …

There’s an explosion of pink outside my kitchen window.

Pretty pansies to brighten up a bleak Sunday afternoon.
