Back blipped



Silene dioica


..taken the morning after I got back from Sussex, a rather tired blipper so a local trip.  Such a very pretty wildflower, and although I took close-ups it was this straggle I liked best.


Okay, I must push on now and catch up with my posting or I'll be behind forever.
