Gentiana acaulis

Today's the day ...................... to be blue

I don't usually work on Mondays and it has become a bit of a treat to wake up on a Monday morning and know that the day belongs to me. Today, however, I had agreed to swap my Monday for Tuesday - and so off into work I had to go.

It was such a lovely day too. It would have been great to potter about in the garden - a cup of coffee and a read of the paper - a nice little lunch with a glass of wine. But no, it was a day in the office mostly spent at the computer.

I managed to escape for a brief walk round the garden at work and found these gentians sunbathing in the bright sunshine. They were such an intense blue - they were almost luminous.

Oh well never mind - at least I will have tomorrow off ..................!
