Pink Primrose

Sunday 10th April - Day 113

A day spent trying to get some order into the garden, the weeds grow like fury, and the grass desperatly needed a mow. This didnt leave a lot of time for photo's, but I did want to record these primroses. They were all yellow when planted last year, as can be seen in the background, and now these pink ones have appeared. I think they are beautiful. Sadly, they may be a bit past their best, maybe I wasn't quite in time.

I've finished my antibiotics course now, so hope that I my various aches and general tetchiness settles down this week before leaving for San Diego.

A little PS work to slightly desat the background.

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro
1/100s f/11.0 at 50.0mm iso200 full exif

Your little prim is sweet.
