A bit of a pansy

Wet today - and grey and dismal.

But this soggy pansy helps to cheer the spirit.

I returned to the garden for my inspiration - very different conditions from the glorious autumn light yesterday up on Castle Ring.

The odd weather has confused so many of our plants. I blipped a magnolia bud a couple of weeks ago. It has changed - not flowered - and just looks funny
